COVAP 100% Iberian cebo de campo ham. “Alta Expresión” PDO Valle de los Pedroches.

A high-quality Cebo de Campo Iberian ham

The COVAP 100% Iberian Cebo de Campo “Alta Expresión” DOP Valle de los Pedroches ham is made from pure-bred Iberian pigs registered in the herd book. This pedigree guarantees the quality of the meat, as well as the texture and flavour characteristic of the finest Iberian hams.

Free-range rearing in the dehesas

The pigs are reared free-range in the dehesas of the Valle de los Pedroches, in Córdoba. This natural environment, comprising centuries-old oak trees, provides ideal conditions for rearing Iberian pigs and directly contributes to the quality of the meat.

A natural diet

The animals feed on cereals, grasses, flowers and roots. This varied diet results in a well-balanced and flavourful meat, characteristic of Cebo de Campo Iberian ham.

The Los Pedroches PDO guarantee

This ham bears the Valle de los Pedroches Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), guaranteeing a product produced in accordance with strict criteria of quality, origin and authenticity.

A long curing process in natural cellars

The ham is cured for over 36 months in natural curing cellars. Depending on the cut and climatic conditions, this curing process can last up to 48 months or more. This slow maturation allows complex flavours to develop and gives the ham a melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Rigorous artisanal control

Each piece is inspected by master artisans who monitor the salting level, the aromas and the curing temperature to ensure optimum quality.

COVAP’s expertise

The COVAP cooperative ensures full traceability and strict adherence to traditions and environmental standards. This mastery of the production process guarantees consistent, recognised quality.
