Casa Riera Ordeix
A journey
through time
During the second half of the 19th century, the city of Vic witnessed the modernisation of transport. It was in this context that Josep Riera Font, a Vic native based in Barcelona, discovered the world of Salchichón. He began by simply selling it, but his fascination with this traditional product ultimately led him to set up Casa Riera Ordeix and undertake its production.
Josep Riera Font founded Casa Riera Ordeix
on 25 January 1852
~ Past and present ~
six generations moved by a passion
The history of Casa Riera Ordeix is one of six generations driven by their love for work carried out with enthusiasm, respect and staying true to one's roots.
A work philosophy founded by Josep Riera Font and continued by his son, Pau Riera Ordeix.
A legacy carried on by Josep Riera Creixans and Manuel Riera Comella, who brought prestige to Casa Riera Ordeix’s Salchichón. Today, this passion lives on through their heir, Joaquim Comella Riera.
Quality, natural drying process, and knowledge acquired over 160 years have enabled us to create a unique product capable of reaching the world.
Seventeen decades after its founding, the headquarters of Casa Riera Ordeix is still in Vic (Plaça dels Màrtirs 14). That is because Casa Riera Ordeix still offers the same product, made in the same way by the same family, with one priority in mind: quality.
The selection of the finest ingredients, natural drying, and knowledge passed down through generations have given Casa Riera Ordeix a unique and exceptional bouquet capable of crossing borders.
And it has done so as an ambassador for the city of Vic and its region.
Casa Riera Ordeix’s Salchichón, along with the Truffle Salchichón, the Rustic Salchichón, and the Vic Fuet, form a product range that has evolved without ever losing its essence. New additions like the Somaia and the Secallona reflect our commitment to innovation while honoring tradition. Six products known for their aroma, texture, and flavor around the world.
Our products are currently available in several iconic department stores, including Harrods in London, Grande Epicerie in Paris, and KaDeWe in Berlin. They are also in the Swiss chain Globus and have travelled as far as Holland and Hong Kong and many more destinations we continue to reach, always prioritizing quality.
