Just like its Barcelona namesake, La Boqueria Smallgoods is a collection of produce dedicated to authenticity, prime ingredients and of course, flavour. Unlike the iconic La Rambla institution though, this La Boqueria has been created right here in Sydney Australia.

Developed by Spanish produce importer and proud Catalan, Emile Gomez. He has spent the past decade carefully selecting the finest jamon iberico de bellota, jamon serrano, richly flavoured mojama, brightly hued paprika and precious Pedro Ximenez vinegars for Australian consumers and restaurants. La Boqueria is a manufacturer of Spanish, authentic, artisan smallgoods, Inspired by traditional methods (protected in Spain by laws that support and protect historical recipes and manufacturing methods). We developed mentorships with the custodians of the embutido craft, butchers and traditional manufacturers, with the vision of creating an artisan range in Australia. This is how La Boqueria was born. It's core ideals are authenticity and tradition. We not only use sustainable, cruelty free animals, but the very best of the animals that the recipe dictates. Our Nose to Tail range includes Australian pork, wild boar, Spanish paprika, carefully selected ingredients and tradition.
