Spanish Coffee in the US

What a difference a few years makes... it is fair to say that the global economic climate has not done anyone any favours and unfortunately our local supply of Spanish coffee dried up completley by summer 2011. As a small business it is quite concerning when you see products vanish from suppliers shelves never to return and indeed see them eventually close the doors for the last time.

There are however always options and when it comes to looking after customers we prefer to under promise and over deliver. We are pleased to announce that Spanish coffee is back beginning with La Estrella and Marcilla brands, more variations are also on the way and we are confident that with our new supply your torrefacto will always be available. Incidently if you are a Saimaza fan (still available but not currently on the website) it may be worth noting that word around the camp fire here in Spain is that the Saimaza doors will be closing for good somethime soon if they have not done so already. A real shame to see one of the top brands go.

Mojama America

Mojama cured tuna direct from Spain to the USA. According to our American customers mojama has been quite difficult to buy in the US. Being a cured loin of tuna and also vacuum packed means that the USDA will let mojama through US customs.



Dry cured loin of tuna of the highest quality available in 250g and 500g pieces - full loins (1kg approx) also available on request.

Buy Spanish Coffee in the US

US Customer Information: from 2009 it will be possible for Orce Serrano Hams to dispatch Marcilla and Saimaza torrefacto coffees direct from Andalucia to America. *Overseas postal rates apply (please see ordering & terms)


"Excellent quality raw beans are always used and the two main blends produced are natural and mezcla, the latter being the hallmark of Spanish coffee. Mezcla blends are a result of the 'torrefacto' process which means that a small proportion of the raw beans, usually about 20% - 30% are 'sugar sprayed' with a fine mist of sugar before roasting. The glazed beans are then added to the other beans and slowly roasted where the sugar is burnt off leaving a dark roasted bean with a hint of caramel to create a deep rich coffee without any hint of bitterness. The beans are then used whole, or ground exceptionally fine as is always the case with Spanish ground coffees."
