About us
Written from Spain by people who buy, slice and eat these products at home — and who get asked constantly by friends abroad what to buy.
Who’s behind it
Spain at the Table is written and edited by Javier Alvarez, its founder. Javier lives in Bilbao, in the Basque Country, and is a passionate home cook. He started the site to help people outside Spain buy and enjoy the same products Spaniards eat at home, explained clearly and backed by official sources.

What we do
People outside Spain ask us the same questions again and again: which Iberico ham is the real thing, what “bellota” means, whether it’s worth the price and what to actually order online. This site answers those questions the way we’d answer a friend.
How we choose products
- Label first. We only recommend products whose official Spanish classification is clear (for Iberico ham: breed percentage and diet).
- Producer track record. Brands and cooperatives with a long, verifiable history in Spain.
- Availability where you live. Products you can legally buy and have delivered in your country today. We re-check listings regularly and remove products that disappear.
- Format that fits real life. Most buyers are better served by pre-sliced packs than by a whole leg, and we say so.
We never state prices (they change constantly) and we never accept free products or paid placements.
How the site is funded
