We are proud to be the supplier of all Ibérico products served at Madrid’s newly renovated Mandarin Oriental Ritz.
One of Spain’s most prestigious luxury hotels, the Ritz has welcomed countless renowned figures from the worlds of entertainment, film, business and politics over the years.
One of the highlights of its new chapter is its exceptional culinary offering, led by three-Michelin-starred chef Quique Dacosta
Originally from Extremadura and Valencian by adoption, Quique Dacosta has spent 35 years in the kitchen. Throughout his career, he has continued to evolve and innovate, focusing on fine dining and the cuisine of Spain, Alicante and Valencia, while always showing the utmost respect for the ingredients he works with.
In 2021, Quique Dacosta became Culinary Director of Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid. Across its iconic dining rooms and gardens, he oversees five unique gastronomic spaces where guests can enjoy his cuisine alongside ingredients of exceptional quality.
And this is where Ibéricos Torreón comes in. After working closely with the chef and his team, we became the hotel’s supplier of Ibérico products.
We have a particularly strong presence at breakfast at the Ritz, where seven days a week one of our carefully selected hams is hand-carved for guests, bringing the authentic taste of Ibérico to the heart of Madrid.
The ham is included in the price of breakfast, and we are delighted to have Raquel Acosta and her team carving it. Raquel is one of the most highly regarded professional ham carvers in the restaurant industry. She has worked with us on many occasions, so having her and her team as part of this project was a natural choice.
We are also hand-carving ham every Sunday at Sunday Lunch. Weather permitting, guests can enjoy our ham and other exceptional delicacies in the iconic Ritz Gardens.
Our 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham is also featured on the menu at the hotel’s most exclusive venue, the Champagne Bar, an intimate space for just 12 guests where visitors can enjoy one of our greatest gastronomic treasures.
And it’s not all about ham. Our products have also found their way into Quique Dacosta’s kitchen, including our Ibérico cured meats, pork belly and fresh Ibérico pork.
We are delighted to have been given this opportunity by one of Madrid’s most iconic hotels and deeply grateful for the trust they have placed in the products that Torreón’s artisans craft every day with dedication and passion.
