The award ceremony took place during Alimentaria 2026, where Torre de Núñez was recognised with the Innoval Award in the processed meat category. This recognition comes for something we have been working on for some time: our new Ligero Range.
Do you know that feeling of wanting to enjoy a good ham or a quality cured meat, but without filling every bite with unnecessary fat? That is the starting point for this range.
Innovation with purpose
For us, however, innovating means something specific: understanding what today’s consumer truly needs and responding to that without betraying who we are.
The Ligero Range is born from that philosophy. Products with reduced fat and salt, designed for those seeking more balanced options without losing a single gram of flavour or quality. Because at Torre de Núñez we know that quality and innovation are not enemies: they are allies.
Tradition + innovation = results
What might sound like a contradiction—traditional processed meats, but lighter—is possible because we have 60 years of experience in the category. We know what makes a product delicious, and we know how to achieve it without giving up what matters.
The Innoval Award is an endorsement of that: that it is possible to innovate while respecting tradition. That it is possible to offer something different that is still unmistakably Torre de Núñez.
What it means to us
For the whole team, this recognition at Alimentaria is especially rewarding because it does not come from just anywhere. It comes from industry professionals who understand the work behind it.
For José Manuel Núñez Torre, our Managing Director: “This recognition reinforces our commitment to innovation that is connected to the market and to the consumer’s real needs“.
In the end, that is what drives us: listening to the market, understanding where it is headed, and getting there without losing our identity.
