Advantages of cotton rope

Breathability and hygiene 🌀🍃

✅ Cotton is a natural material that allows and promotes breathability. This is very important in processes such as curing meat products (like ham), as it prevents the accumulation of moisture and prevents the growth of mold or bacteria.

❌ Synthetic strings (made of nylon or polyester) They do not breathe and can create condensation points that compromise the hygiene of your production process.

Food safety 🍖👌

✅ To be suitable for food use, cotton ropes must be unbleached and undyed, or when dyed with inks suitable for the food industry. This prevents them from releasing chemical compounds when they come into contact with the fat or sweat from your meat products.

❌ Some synthetic ropes may release microplastics or volatile compounds., especially if they are exposed to particularly hot weather conditions or high humidity levels.

Adequate traction and resistance 💪🚚

✅ Cotton gives your rope the necessary strength to support the weight of heavy pieces of meat. (like a ham weighing between 7 and 10 kg) without damaging them or affecting their skin.

❌ Synthetic strings can be more abrasive, affecting the product over time. This is especially important in your transportation and storage processes.

Tradition and regulations ⭐🔖

✅ Many producing areas in Spain traditionally rely on the use of cotton rope. It's even regulated in products subject to PDO certification.

❌ In fact, Some regulators specifically prohibit the use of plastic and synthetic materials citing health and authenticity reasons.
