Herpac was founded in 1986 by the Pacheco brothers. After many years of working in their small fish shop in Barbate and thanks to the good reputation they achieved, Francisco and Diego decided to start commercializing mojama, drying it artisanally with no other elements than the sun and the wind, in their establishment on Hermanos Romero Abreu street. Today they have central facilities of 8,500 square meters, three own stores, and fifty employees, and they are present in 10 countries.

It has never ceased to be a family business, and now the third generation is starting to run the company. Herpac is a leader in the canning industry, and its tuna mojama is one of the most recognized in the world, being one of the few chosen to bear the distinguished Protected Geographical Indication "Mojama de Barbate" label.

Their nearly one hundred references, including red tuna preserves and artisanal smoked products, have received numerous national and international awards and are available in the most important gourmet stores and spaces in the country. In addition, their factory receives thousands of visits from different nationalities every year, where the thousand-year-old art of ronqueo del atún (tuna slicing) is shown live.
