Iván Chacón
Carnes Diego is synonymous with quality and tradition in Ibiza. This family company, run by Diego Chacón and his son Iván, has succeeded in consolidating its position as a benchmark in the Balearic market through industriousness and a commitment to excellence. The Carnes Diego story began in 1998 when Diego and his wife opened their first stand in Mercat Nou in Ibiza. Since then, the butcher’s has seen constant growth, driven by an ethos that sees it focus its full attention on quality and customer service.
Carnes Diego has been a family business since it began. Diego, with the unconditional support of his wife, embarked on his business adventure with the firm belief that he could offer clients the finest meat products available. Iván joined the business later, bringing with him fresh ideas and innovative approaches. This cross-generational collaboration has been key to the company’s development and expansion, and has meant Carnes Diego has maintained its place at the forefront of the sector.
The path hasn’t always been easy, but their perseverance and hard work have more than paid off. The early years were particularly challenging, with days that often seemed endless. Happily, it was all worth the effort. Demand for their products grew rapidly and the market butcher’s stall suddenly seemed too small. The company expanded, opening a second shop, and Carnes Diego transformed into an essential supplier to many of the best hotels and restaurants in Ibiza.
A trustworthy supplier
A key aspect that sets Carnes Diego apart is its reputation for being a serious, reliable supplier, and the company has earned the trust of the leading restaurants on the island. This is mainly due to its ability to offer top quality products and a personalised service that adapts to the specific needs of each client. From customised cuts and packaging to one-off deliveries, Carnes Diego works hard to exceed its clients’ expectations at all times.
At Carnes Diego, quality is the priority. The company has its own workshop, where it lovingly and painstakingly makes its products. Its hamburgers are particularly famous, and they are made using entirely artisan methods with no additives or preservatives. This means its hamburgers are suitable for coeliacs and people who are gluten intolerant, demonstrating Carnes Diego’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of its clients.
What’s more, Carnes Diego has a wide variety of gourmet products, many labelled under its own “Gourmet Ibiza” brand. Its Iberian ham is a particularly remarkable product in this range and has been scrupulously selected to guarantee its excellence. Diego and Iván are also deeply proud of their broad selection of matured meats, including prestigious Finnish Ayrshire beef, considered to be one of the best in the world.
Personalised service and customer service
What truly sets Carnes Diego apart is its focus on customer service. Both Diego and Iván are always available to respond to any problem or client request, meaning the company provides a smooth and efficient service. This personalised attention is highly appreciated by all the restaurants and hotels with which it works, who know they can count on Carnes Diego to rapidly and effectively meet their needs.
Two shops in strategic locations
Carnes Diego has two strategically located shops so that its products are within easy reach of individual customers. The first is in the heart of Ibiza Town, in Carrer de Fra Vicent Nicolau, 27. This shop has an innovative, modern design and stands out for its cleanliness and transparency, two aspects that both Diego and Iván consider to be essential. The second shop is in San Carlos in the SUMA supermarket on Carretera de Sant Carles, Km 12, 500. Both shops offer a unique shopping experience where customers can appreciate the quality of the products and are given a personalised service.
A promising future
After more than two decades of experience, Carnes Diego has proven to be a resilient, adaptable company, capable of facing and overcoming the challenges of the market. With a solid base built on quality, service, and constant innovation, there is no doubt that it has a promising future. Diego and Iván continue to work tirelessly to improve and expand their business, always aiming to offer their clients the absolute best, and it is clear that they have created a legacy that will live on for many years to come.
