Our people

115 people from Pirapozinho behind every case.

Favorito was founded in 1981 in the Pontal do Paranapanema, one of the largest beef cattle regions in São Paulo state. Since then the plant has grown, adding cold rooms, cutting lines and vacuum packing.

What hasn't changed is how we make it: salting in stacks, drying on racks and the care of people who know charque by touch. That work is what reaches your customers' tables.

How we make it

From carcass to case, all under one roof.

Charque was born in the salting yards of southern Brazil, with salt and sun. Our plant is modern; the method is the same.

Step 1
Receiving and inspection
Chilled carcasses are checked before they go on the line.
Step 2
Deboning and cutting
The beef is opened into thin sheets so the salt reaches it evenly.
Step 3
Salting
The sheets are layered with coarse salt in stacks that are turned over time.
Step 4
Drying on racks
After salting, the sheets hang on racks to dry.
Step 5
Packing
Vacuum packs of 500 g and 1 kg, and cases of up to 30 kg.
Step 6
Shipping
Trucks leave Pirapozinho for customers all over Brazil.
