De campo Iberian products: breeding and feeding.

Breeding

The breeding of Iberian pigs is the same for everyone until they reach 100 kg in weight, first suckling from the mother and then with feed and vitaminized cereals to contribute to their muscle strength and bone structure. 

From this point on, the most suitable ones, according to the percentage of the Iberian breed and weight, are selected to do the Montanera, that is to say, they are left free in the Dehesa to feed on acorns, wild fruits, drink a lot of water and also do some exercise to build up their muscles. In this way, the natural fat of the acorn penetrates the meat to make a delicious jamón/ham. This would be for those who end up giving the amazing and unique Bellota (acorn) hams.

In the case of the de campo iberian Jamón/ham, as we have said, the farmer decides by weight, percentage of race and by the space that he has at his disposal, the distribution of the animals. Some of them, while they are in the farm eating fodder, also go out to graze in the farm's pastures, and eat all the wild things they find, grass and wild fruits.
