The Jamón obtained from these pigs can be classified into three types according to their diet: Ibérico de Bellota, Ibérico de Cebo de Campo and Ibérico de Cebo. Let’s explain what is each one of them :

Depending on how the pigs are fed, the price of their meat will be one or the other, since it does not cost as much to raise them in the pastureland, where they have to be moved, as it does on farms. The Jamón Bellota- Acorn is therefore more expensive than Jamón Ibérico de Cebo but this does not mean that it is better, it just means that it is more juicy and has cost more effort to produce it.
In addition to this factor, there are three other factors that determine the price of meat:

There is also another aspect to consider when selling them and that is the offer. In Spain, around 2.8 million pieces of acorn-fed Iberian pigs are produced each year, half of which are hams

No, because the activity of the pastures is controlled and the number of trees is what it is, thus the number of pigs fed with their fruits cannot grow much more. On the other hand, it is not the same for Jamón de Cebo o Jamón de campo, which can be marketed as many as pigs there are on farms.
Could you explain now what is Jamón Ibérico de Cebo? Our intention is that, to introduce you to the culture of Jamón so we hope to have helped you get to know a little bit about this exquisite delicacy.
In conclusion, and bearing in mind that you already know all the theory, nothing better than to start with the practice, so encourage yourself to try the best Jamón Ibérico with any of our products.
