Hind limb from own 100% Iberian pigs selected from birth. The first stage
of his life takes place on our farm, feeding on natural cereals crafted in
our facilities to a weight between 40kg and 50kg, when they access the
meadows. In them they enjoy an exquisite feeding composed of this
selection of cereals as well as grasses, tubers, roots and acorns; reaching
between 90kg and 100kg in early October when the montanera begins,
time when the acorns fall and constitute their only feed until they reach an
approximate weight of 180kg as an adult.

adequate level of cholesterol in the blood, in addition to being rich in
protein, vitamin B1, iron, zinc, magnesium, acid folic acid and vitamin E
(excellent antioxidant).

and tastier product, pleasant for all palates.
