Arc Iberico Imports carries Iberico ham, known as Jamón, which is a type of cured ham produced in Spain. Try the Serrano ham as well, dry-cured for months, sliced thin by the master artisans behind the counter of the tasting room and wine bar. Stock up on chorizos and other Spanish delicacies while visiting Richmond.

Bosa Foods is on the border of Vancouver near Burnaby, and this family-owned business has two locations, serving the community for years as a go-to for deli meats, sausage, and charcuterie.
