Casademont

Casademont is a Catalan maker of fuet and other cured sausages based at Constantins, Girona, under the company name Casademont 1956 Meat, S.L. It belongs to Costa Food Group, whose business runs from feed and farms to processing, with Casademont as the final step.

The producer dates itself to the middle of the 20th century, when a small workshop made fuets and other embutidos; the 1956 in the company name points to the founding year. Trade press names Jaume Casademont of Bescanó, Girona, as the founder. Grupo Empresarial Costa, from Fraga (Huesca), has existed since 1960 and joined Costa Food in 2018, according to the consortium's member page.

In scope are fuet espetec extra, organic fuet, fuet snack sticks, salchichón montaña extra, chorizo de Pamplona extra and chorizo picante. The site menu also has an international section with Jamón serrano. No PDO or PGI is claimed, and Casademont is not named on Costa's page for the Jamón serrano TSG consortium, although the group is a member. No named product line turned up.

In range terms Casademont is a fuet specialist: fuet and salchichón form the core, and ham appears only in the international section. That sets it apart from ham-led houses such as Navidul.

Packs are fuet sticks, espetec, snack sticks and two-packs. In the UK or US, look for them among imported Spanish cured sausages in delis and specialist food shops.
