These days, Ghent is synonymous with Ganda Ham. But that hasn\u2019t always been the case. It all started with Roger Cornelis and Maria Mattheeuws, who started a modest butcher shop together in the 1950s. The couple spent years pouring their heart and soul into figuring out the perfect seasoning for the ham we know and love today. Sixty years later, we find ourselves with the third generation of Cornelises at the helm, with many more set to continue working on the Ganda Ham success story, each with as much passion as the last. Today, the family business produces some 2,200 hams every week.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”read more” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”94c6e2db-3e0f-441b-aa20-1b9de8208a6e” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F7F4F1″ background_image=”\/wp-content\/themes\/Divi\/images\/bg_arrow_top_white.svg” background_size=”contain” background_position=”top_center” custom_padding=”12rem||1rem||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”6.5rem||1rem||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”2.5rem||0rem||false|false” disabled=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_class=”uw-row” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1200px” custom_padding=”|30px|3rem|30px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||1.5rem|30px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|20px|0.5rem|20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”title_decor js-fade-in” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”128322f3-ee39-404c-a020-e0e453bfde7e” header_2_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||0.6rem||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||0.6rem||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0.3rem||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The butcher\u2019s shop run by husband-and-wife team Roger Cornelis and Maria Mattheeuws is so successful that, after a few years, they have to move to bigger premises in Mariakerke.
