What we do, what we live, what we are

Our project is, ultimately, our way of life. We do not make organic sausages because it is fashionable, we have been doing it for many years. Do you want to prove it? Hit play!

Virtual visit

We invite you to learn with us about the entire process of our project. From raising our happy piglets in 'El Encinar' in Ocón to the step-by-step preparation of our organic meats and sausages.

Welcome

We show you what our day-to-day life is like in our organic livestock project and the production of eco-friendly meats and sausages in the Ocón Valley, in La Rioja, in the Plena Biosphere Reserve.

'The holm oak' of Ocón

In this video we show you how we raise our piglets in freedom, on the ecological farm 'El Encinar' in Ocón in the World Biosphere Reserve of La Rioja.

The mothers

In this video we show you what the gestation process is like for the sows that enjoy this important period in the mountains. In our ecological farm 'El Encinar' in Ocón, in the heart of the La Rioja World Biosphere Reserve.

First phase of adaptation to the farm

In this video we show you how the piglets, once weaned, are transferred to a park where they spend a period of adaptation to be able to continue their breeding in freedom.

First phase of organic pig breeding

In that video we show you how our piglets live their first months outdoors, enjoying contact with nature and the outdoors.

Growing organic cereal to feed our piglets

This is how we grow our organic cereal with which we then make the feed that our piglets eat.

Preparation of organic feed

Once the organic cereal from our farm has been harvested, we prepare the feed that our piglets feed on in our facilities, thus reducing the impact of our activity by not depending on external suppliers.

Feed distribution

This is how we distribute the feed we make among our piglets.

The organic olive grove of Embutidos Luis Gil

On our farm we also grow olive trees in organic farming. They are of the Arbequina variety and with the olives we make our Organic Extra Virgin Oil 'La Merendola'.
Horses help us keep the ground clean.

Welcome to our meat company

At Embutidos Luis Gil we make organic meat and sausages from our own organic livestock. We show you what the preparation process is like step by step.

Organic sausage dryer

Once made, our organic sausages mature slowly in our drying rooms until they are ready to be consumed.

Organic ham dryer

This is how our organic hams mature.

Slicing and packaging of our organic products

We package our products in different formats: lances or whole pieces and thus they are ready to distribute among our clients.

Farewell

Thank you for joining us on our visit to our project for raising organic livestock and making sausages and meats that are respectful of your health and that of the planet.
