Our story

The brand "Tio Otto" goes back to the beginning of the last century. The German mining engineer Otto Wise moved around 1900 from Germany to the Huelva region of Southern Spain. His plan was to help temporarily in the mining activities in the region. What was thought to be a temporary stay, became long-term. He fell in love with the people, the region, and especially its Bellota Jamon.
The region of Huelva is one of two regions in Spain that produce the highest quality, black label Bellota jamon. Not surprising, Otto Wise developed the idea to supply his family and friends back in Germany with this amazing speciality. The idea failed due to the rudimentary logistics at that time.
Otto Wise, quickly after his arrival called Otto "El Aleman" (the german), is an ancestor of one of our founder’s wifes. We feel proud and honoured to pick up the original idea to bring this excellent ham to the world. Here locally, small producers will profit – handpicked by our local experts.
