In 1998, having worked in London for ten years, Peter Snow wanted to return to Herefordshire.

Before moving back, he decided to tour Spain for a few months, having fallen in love with the country and it’s food when he had lived there for a year in his teens.

During his travels, he was introduced to the producers of one of Spain’s finest Serrano hams, Jamon de Trevélez.

On his return to England Bellota was established with Jamon de Trevélez as it’s first and only product! The aim was to supply delicatessens and other independent retailers with high quality products that would appeal to a growing number of discerning customers.

Over the next ten years and after many more trips to Spain searching out other artisan producers, Bellota’s product list has grown comprehensively and continues to offer an excellent range of Spanish Foods.
