René Massonde

As a father and son boucher-charcutier-conserveur for nearly 40 years in Espelette, we take particular pride in, and are renowned for, two culinary products: The Maison René Massonde “Veal Axoa with Espelette Pepper” (typical Basque dish prepared with mashed veal, onions, tomatoes and flavoured with red Espelette pepper) and the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication, true guarantee of origin) “Bayonne Ham”.

Our salted specialities are mainly meat and and pork based charcuteries. This salting technique is used to conserve the food and reveal the flavours of the Basque territory. Our René MASSONDE Bayonne Ham is a PGI certified ham, guaranteeing its inimitable taste. We bring all our expertise during all the different steps of its preparation and the 12 month curing in order to bring you back to the warmth and authenticity of our land.
