Technical specifications:
Their pigs spend the first stage of their lives on their farm, feeding on natural cereals made on their premises until they reach a weight of between 40 and 50kg, when they access the meadows.
There they enjoy an exquisite diet composed of this selection of cereals in addition to grass, tubers, roots, and acorns, reaching 90/100kg in early October (when the montanera begins), when the acorns fall and they feed exclusively on them until they reach an approximate weight of 180kg in their adult stage. This is essential to maintain the Iberian breed and be able to call it acorn-fed Iberian.
These Iberian hams, due to the breed that characterizes them and their exquisite diet, present a cane with an elongated and stylized shape with a golden and fluid fat on its outer part, while on its inner part it shows a pink and melting appearance that floods the mouth with intense and prolonged nuances.
Tasting notes
In our 100% Iberian Acorn Shoulder Gold we discover a ruby red hue, a delicate vein, and a high percentage of oleic acid that helps maintain an adequate level of cholesterol in the blood, in addition to being rich in proteins, vitamin B1, iron, zinc, magnesium, folic acid, and vitamin E (excellent antioxidant). In the nose, we recognize intense and pleasant aromas exclusive to the 100% Iberian acorn shoulder, characteristic of its character and personality. In the mouth, we appreciate an intense and persistent flavor with a characteristic sweetness of the 100% Iberian Acorn Shoulder Gold BEHER due to a reduction in the salting time and long maturation, achieving a healthier, tastier, and more pleasant product on the palate.
