These pigs have enjoyed an area of one thousand hectares where they have been able to exercise and feed exclusively on acorns and grass during two seasons. With an oleic acid content of more than 56% and a slow curing process in our best granite cellar, under the supervision of our hams masters, during more than 48 months of dedication and delivery, we have achieved that each of these 300 pieces be a work of art and a gift for the senses.
