With roots in a five-generation artisan butchering family from Llerena in Spain, Rodriguez Bros makes Spanish-style smallgoods and imports Spanish foods for Australian kitchens. Rogelio Rodriguez Snr and Elvira began producing smallgoods in Leichhardt in the 1970s, and the Villawood business now supplies Spanish restaurants, wholesale and foodservice customers across Australia. Its traditional family-recipe chorizo remains a signature, alongside a retail range serving Spanish and South American cooking.
