Historia

In 1977, Manuel García Vázquez, together with his wife María del Carmen Mosteiro Arias, began their activity with a small butcher shop in the town of Melide, which with great effort and dedication saw them progress gradually forty-three years ago. Both members of the marriage were great connoisseurs and defenders of the Galician field, and they knew what it was like to work the field and tend the cattle.

At first they bought the cattle from local farmers and neighbors to later sell the meat in their small butcher shop, but over time they began to buy the first cattle to raise and feed their own animals.

With effort and work, they began to expand their business and began selling their meat products to restaurants and different butchers throughout the Galician area.

Located in Melice, Galicia, cradle of the best Veal meat in Spain, in Cárnicas García, we are dedicated to the production and distribution of high quality veal, pork and sheep meat for the most demanding palates. Our products are officially endorsed by all the official control standards required by the sector.

With the entry of the four children of the marriage into the family business, they began to expand their horizons. Thus, with the idea of ​​diversifying the family business, they launched the opening of 4 supermarkets, constituting in 1991 the company Supermercados García e Hijos S.L., although meat distribution was always their main focus.

Driven by the expansion of the business in the sale of meat, they also acquire a pig farm located in the neighboring village of Zaramil and years later they lease the La Curtisana beef farm in order to be able to source their own cattle for sale.
