COVAP boneless 100% Iberian bellota Pata Negra ham. "Alta Expresion Oro" PDO Valle de los Pedroches

An exceptional Iberian bellota ham

The COVAP 100% Iberian acorn-fed “Alta Expresión Oro” Pata Negra ham comes from the Valle de los Pedroches PDO, a region renowned for the quality of its dehesas and for the production of Iberian acorn-fed ham.

Free-range Iberian pigs

Pure-bred Iberian pigs roam freely across the dehesa landscapes, which consist of pastures and oak trees. This natural environment encourages extensive farming and contributes directly to the exceptional quality of the meat.

The montanera and acorns

During the montanera, the pigs feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the oak trees and on natural resources found in the pastures. Each pig can consume between 8 and 10 kg of acorns per day. This diet contributes to the marbling of the fat and the development of the characteristic flavours of bellota Iberian hams.
