Iberian Pig

The Iberian pig is a native breed from Spain and Portugal, renowned for its high-quality, flavorful meat, particularly in the production of jamón Ibérico, a prized cured ham. These pigs are typically raised in grassland environments, where they forage freely, contributing to the unique taste and marbling of their meat. Iberian pigs have distinct genetic traits that yield tender, richly flavored pork with high fat content, which is essential for the traditional curing process. Their unique diet and environment give Iberian pork a reputation for superior quality and culinary excellence.
