Campofrío

Campofrío is a Spanish meat group based in Alcobendas, Madrid, owned by Sigma Alimentos. It is mainly a maker of cooked meats and cold cuts; the cured part of its range is short and covers chorizo, fuet, salami and salchichón. Its ham comes through Navidul, a brand of the same group.

The serrano consortium gives 1952 as the company's start and 1990 as the year it began to go abroad; the products now reach more than 70 countries. The group states nine production plants and twenty sales offices, and Navidul was folded into it in a merger.

In scope: chorizo, fuet, salami and salchichón from the producer's site, plus the Snack'IN mini fuets sold in bags. Campofrío is a member of the Consorcio del Jamón Serrano Español, the body behind Jamón serrano. Pavofrío and most of its other brands, with cooked ham, turkey and mortadella-type products, are not cured products.

Set beside ElPozo or Noel, Campofrío is the cooked-meat specialist: for cured ham it relies on Navidul, while the cured items under its own name remain a small corner of the catalogue.

Among its cured products, mini fuets in bags most often carry the Campofrío name, and Open Food Facts also holds trays of Iberian shoulder ham. In Spain the products sit in the supermarket chains.
