Ana Hernandez, CEO of Deliberico, recently toured the facilities of HERPAC in Barbate (Cádiz), a family-owned business dedicated to seafood production. The guided visit covered various production areas, including tuna drying and smoking, as well as product cutting and packaging.

Founded in 1986 by the Pacheco brothers, Herpac initially focused on artisanal production of traditional tuna mojama. Today, the company boasts an impressive facility spanning 8,500 square meters, three retail stores, and a workforce of fifty employees. Herpac's products are exported to ten countries and have garnered numerous national and international awards.

During the visit, Ana Hernandez had the privilege of witnessing the meticulous process behind the creation of tuna mojama, from the capture of bluefin tuna in the sea to its preservation, drying, and smoking. Additionally, she had the opportunity to observe the time-honored art of ´ronqueo´, which involves the precise slicing of tuna into thin and uniform pieces.

At Deliberico, we are captivated by the exceptional quality of Herpac's products and the company's unwavering commitment to excellence. We also recognize the significance of tradition and expertise in the seafood production industry.
