ABOUT US

History

“A tradition that feeds the future.”

 In 1980, in the heart of Leiria, Carnes Avenida was born. It all started with a small butcher’s shop and a clear purpose: to offer reliable meat, with a genuine taste and family treatment.

From simple origins, we built a brand with soul. We gained the trust of those who value what is authentic, we won over generations – with hard work, respect for tradition and an obsession with quality.

Today, we are more than a name: we are a symbol of Portuguese flavor, made with rigor, passion and truth. In every cut, in every package, on every table – we bring the best of our origins to those who won’t give up the best.

Carnes Avenida. Exclusivity in every cut, tradition in every detail.
