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 grasses, tubers, roots, and acorns, reaching 90/100kg in early October (when the montanera begins), the moment when the acorns fall and they feed exclusively on them until reaching 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, have a slender and elongated hoof with a golden and fluid fat on the outside, while on the inside it shows a pink and melting appearance that floods the mouth with intense and prolonged nuances.
Tasting note
In the 100% Iberian Acorn Shoulder Gold "Pata Negra" 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, as well as 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-fed ham, characteristic of its character and personality. In the mouth, we appreciate an intense and persistent flavor with a sweetness characteristic of the 100% Iberian Acorn Gold BEHER Ham due to a reduction in the salting time and long maturation, achieving a healthier and tastier product, pleasant for all tastes.
