The Iberian Pig: A Treasure of the Extremadura Dehesa
Raising the Iberian pig is an ancient art, a natural rite that is celebrated every day in the dehesa. These noble and free animals roam freely among the trees, feeding off the land, its golden acorns, and fragrant grasses. In their world, each season is a step toward excellence, toward a product that represents the very soul of this region: Iberian ham.
The life of the Iberian pig at Las Corchuelas reflects the harmony between man and nature. In a slow yet wise cycle, these pigs grow surrounded by the serenity of the dehesa, under the careful watch of those who have made this art a way of life. Watching them roam the fields, calm and proud, is like witnessing an ancient dance where the landscape and the living being merge in perfect harmony.
The Magic of the Acorn: The Food of the Gods
It is in the acorn, the gift the earth offers, where the magic of the Iberian pig resides. These animals, with their slow pace, feed on the best that nature provides: acorns that fall like little treasures from the sky. This diet, combined with the freedom to roam the fields, gives Iberian ham its unmistakable flavor, the deep taste that caresses the palate and has been celebrated worldwide.
