A butcher shop in La Devesa, Girona, is celebrating nearly three decades of offering quality products and personal service, notably for its Angus beef and its connection to local basketball.

The establishment, located in La Devesa, Girona, has maintained a philosophy based on product quality and personalized service for almost thirty years. Its offerings include select meats such as free-range chicken and Duroc pork, as well as homemade products without preservatives or additives, such as sausages and Angus burgers.
The house's most emblematic item is the Angus beef loin, sourced from Pla de l'Estany. This meat, always from female cattle with good fat content, is hung to rest for 25 to 30 days before being cut, a process that guarantees optimal texture and flavor. According to the owners, extreme maturation is not necessary if the raw material is excellent.

"The beef is always female, with good fat and older than usual: they reach 24 or 26 months."

The trajectory of the butcher shop's owners dates back to their youth, having started in the trade at just thirteen years old. After a period in Mallorca, they returned to Girona to open their own business, finally establishing themselves in La Devesa in May 1998. This dedication has fostered a loyal clientele who value advice and human interaction.
Beyond the neighborhood, the butcher shop has established an unexpected connection with the Girona basketball world, especially during the Akasvayu Girona era. Renowned players became regular customers, attracted by the quality products and, in particular, the hand-sliced Iberian ham. This relationship led to anecdotes such as slicing ham in the team's locker room or sending products to international games and gatherings.
