About us
Cardama has been dedicated to the production of Beef Meat and Bone Meal and Beef Tallow since February 1976.
Our company had an uninterrupted development accompanying the Uruguayan meat booming industry that is recognized worldwide for its reliable health status and traceability.
In the last decade, Cardama has made a profound industrial restructuring process with significant investments in machinery that helps the continuous improvement of the products and, at the same time, commits to the environment.
In this sense, we have obtained the ISCC Certification, one of the leading certification schemes for sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions.
In the last quarter of 2014, we launched a state-of-the-art refinery (De Smet Ballestra technology), allowing us to offer different types of tallows with higher added value.
