Norah de Vega Zaragoza

Norah de Vega Zaragoza is a chef, entrepreneur, producer, and professional Iberian ham carver from Baja California, Mexico.

With Spanish roots and a deep passion for gastronomy, she specializes in the culture, selection, curing, and carving of Iberian ham, as well as traditional Spanish cuisine.

Her training in Spain and Europe has allowed her to refine her expertise and share her knowledge at festivals, tastings, workshops, and culinary experiences.

She is the founder of Casa Ibérico and Productos Ibéricos de Baja, and is soon to open Restaurante Chiringuito in the Playas de Tijuana area. These ventures are dedicated to traditional Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, wood fired cooking, and Iberian products.

Her work seeks to preserve and share a tradition that brings together history, technique, and passion.

For Norah, carving Iberian ham is an art form and an expression of respect for the product, the producer, and the tradition it represents.
