Carlos Sánchez
(Barcelona, 1981) loves ham.
"For me, he is everything in my life and I owe him a lot of respect," he
says with an expressiveness on his face that leaves no room for doubt.
In recent years, this man from Barcelona
raised in Medina de Pomar (Burgos)
has managed to conquer the palate of personalities such as
Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos (Amazon), or Steven Spielberg,
with whom he has a very good anecdote.
One among the millions of situations that Sánchez never thought of experiencing thanks to his art when cutting ham.
One of the famous cuts of 'Los Finos'.
THE FINE IN LUXURY EVENTS
This
butcher "by profession and by heart"
took a great leap when he went from running a butcher shop in Burgos with his brother David to setting up Los Finos in 2004, specializing in luxury events.
After "cutting ham for free at weddings of several friends," they
soon saw that this activity was going a long way.
Possessor of a unique style and creator of the
Repetition of the Tapa
cut
, this hipster-looking master knows well the benefits of this food.
“Ham has the power to hypnotize people when they see me cutting it.
It happens wherever it goes ».
Sánchez has participated in major events around the world.

IT ALL STARTED WITH RAIMUNDO AMADOR
After conquering the palate of Raimundo Amador
("I was cutting him hams for five days and since then he has called me a violinist"),
Carlos Sánchez was requested by David Bustamante and groups like Izal, Los Chunguitos or La Pegatina
to leave behind the usual (and somewhat sad) sandwiches and pieces of fruit in the dressing rooms and taste slices of ham before going on stage.
And it
went from holding five events a year to more than 500
with a group of cutters of around thirty members.
"With many girls, including my niece," he adds.
The cuts of this Burgos born in Barcelona are praised by many followers.

SUCCESS IN USA
In 2018,
this master cutter came to the US willing to make a living.
"I didn't know any English
and the first six months were very hard," he explains.
But that served to wake him up and, as he now humorously admits, has led him to "have a life as a musician, even though they and I play different instruments."
Associated with chef José Andrés in different projects,
Carlos Sánchez has an agenda full of appointments already closed for many months in sight thanks to his company, which advises and cuts ham for the main restaurateurs, events and personalities in the world.
And always, with
his girlfriend Natalia ("she is the love of my life")
as a great support in each of his projects that he undertakes.
Carlos Sánchez is recognized as a 'butcher by profession and heart'.

OSCAR, SPIELBERG, OBAMA ...
Other events include the
Oscars ceremony
, a
Champions League
final
, several Michelin Guide galas, Formula One teams, receptions for the British royal family ... or
Steven Spielberg
and former President
Barack Obama
, from who keep a pleasant memory.
“With Spielberg it happened to me that he saw me, talked to me while I was cutting and began to draw me plans with his mobile.
He was very nice and friendly.
Just like Obama, who makes me excited right
now when I remember that moment in which we coincided.
If I come from a butcher shop in Burgos! ».
