La Casa del Jamón in Alto Boquete

[Bud]

Marcelyn and I recently became acquainted with a fairly new specialty food store in Alto Boquete -- La Casa del Jamón. I am calling it a specialty food store rather than a grocery store because it does not stock the typical items found in a super market, such as bread, eggs, cereals, butter, lettuce, canned veggies, etc. Their inventory is primarily imported items of high quality, such as meats (beef, pork, fish, etc.), condiments, spices, etc. They do carry a small inventory of local coffees (both beans and ground).

They are in a new, white colored building across from the Alto Dorado strip mall on the main road into Boquete. You will see the word "Gago" on the building and on their roadside sign. La Casa del Jamón is owned by Hermanos Gago S.A. We understand La Casa del Jamón to be a chain, with stores in PC. We don't know if they have a store in David.

The store was clean and well laid out. The staff was friendly and offered assistance even though we did not ask. All items were labeled with item names, dates, and prices, etc. The majority of the meats are frozen and vacuum packed.

They do accept credit cards.

We believe La Casa del Jamón is not affiliated with another pork store in Boquete that is discussed at http://www.chiriqui.life/topic/2497-pork-store-in-boquete.

Here is a scan of their business card:
