Technical specifications:
Their pigs spend the first stage of their lives on their farm, feeding on natural cereals produced in their facilities until they reach a weight of between 40 and 50kg, when they have access to the meadows.
There they enjoy an exquisite diet composed of this selection of cereals as well as grass, tubers, roots, and acorns, reaching 90/100kg by early October (when the montanera begins), at which point 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, have a long and stylized hoof with golden and fluid fat on the outside, while on the inside they show a pink and melting appearance that floods the mouth with intense and prolonged flavors.
Tasting Note
In the Bellota 100% Iberico Oro "Pata Negra" palette, we discover a ruby red hue, a delicate marbling, 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% acorn-fed Iberian ham, characteristic of its character and personality. In the mouth, we appreciate an intense and persistent flavor with a sweetness characteristic of the Bellota 100% Iberico Oro BEHER ham due to a reduced salting time and long maturation, achieving a healthier and tastier product, pleasant to all palates.
