An Exceptional Cortador Experience
Chef Dylan's Story
Dylan is a skilled artisan cortador in New England, specializing in the art of hand-carving and presenting premium Jamon with precision and elegance. Dedicating 17 years to the restaurant industry, he began his journey as a dishwasher at just 15 years old and working his way up to the role of executive chef. His time as Executive Chef at Barcelona Wine Bar was especially life-changing, igniting his deep passion for Spanish cuisine and its rich culinary traditions.
Transformative Spain
His journeys to Spain, including visits to renowned Jamon producers like Monte Nevado in Segovia, deepened his appreciation for Jamon and the intricate artistry behind its production. Immersing himself in the traditions of the producers and Cortadors of the region, he developed a profound respect for their craft. Inspired by this experience, he returned to New England with a vision to share his passion, leading to the creation of Cortador & Company.
Beyond the Slice
Cortador and Company offers your senses an exceptional experience, combining his mastery of precise slicing techniques with a deep knowledge of premium Jamon and its origins. Every cut is crafted to enhance the flavor, texture, and visual appeal of the Jamon, showcasing its unique qualities. The pigs selected for these delicacies are raised with meticulous care, benefiting from traditional farming methods that prioritize their well-being and diet.
From acorn-fed Iberian pigs to carefully curated breeds like Serrano and Mangalica, the farming practices directly influence the nuanced fat profiles, marbling, and richness of the meat. Our service goes beyond slicing—it’s an immersive culinary journey that celebrates the heritage, artistry, and unparalleled taste of Jamon, elevating any event into a truly memorable experience.
