La casa del Jamón

Description

The Casa del Jamon de Ronda was founded in 1989 by Don Leocadio Corbacho Bocanegra. After years of dedication to the hospitality industry, this enterprising businessman wanted to collect over the years all the fruit of his experience as a ham cutter. His beginnings date back to 1965 when in the patrol militias he learned to cut ham for the canteen sandwiches, since they had to be thin slices. At the same time and given his experience and professionalism as a ham cutter, it was around 1989 when he decided to open his first store dedicated to ham, sausages, cheeses and wines. Not being there, one of his sons, David Leocadio, decides to get close to his father to give her a hand in the store and soon after that of his second son, Alberto.

In 2002, Leocadio Corbacho entered one of the most prestigious competitions in this country, finishing in first place, merits that made him recognize his entire career as a ham cutter at the national level. In 2004, his son David Leocadio won the First Prize for Ham Cutters from Villanueva de Córdoba. Following the line of his teacher, David Leocadio continues his streak of awards, winning the first prize in Madrid in 2005 and then the first prize in Teruel. Then, his son Alberto followed the path of his father and brother, and in 2007 he won the First Prize for Ham Cutters of Madrid. Not stopping there, his son-in-law Juan Miguel Orellana is added to the business. After a few years, Leocadio together with his sons David Leocadio and Alberto decide to open a new store in the city of Marbella. And some time later a second store opened in Ronda. Once opened and expanding the staff, Lourdes Corbacho, daughter of Leocadio, joins the team, who along with her husband Juan Miguel joins the new round store.

. In 2009, Juan Miguel, and with the experience he obtained, decided to enter the National Ham Cutters Competition in Madrid, from which he again won First Prize. In 2011, Lourdes also decided to enter this contest, also collecting that First Prize, and becoming the first woman to obtain such a great award. Followed by that and for the same year she entered the First Ham Slicer Contest held in Madrid and again won First Prize. Since 2002 with the idea of Leocadio, La Casa del Jamon has held one of the most prestigious Ham Cutter Competitions in the city of Ronda, recognized by the best ham cutters in our entire country, receiving two awards, one in the year 2008 and the latter in 2012 as the best contest organized at the national level.
