We are a small family company dedicated to the breeding of the Iberian pig for several generations.
It has been more than 20 for years that our production is exclusively ecological.
We feel we are caretakers of the landscape, because we think that "Caring for the Earth is caring for Humanity."
We do not measure our growth only in economic terms, for us, growth also consists of promoting more green spaces. We need a healthy land.
We are in favor of the economy of the common good, of sustainable development and of the defense of the welfare of future generations. We think that the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) must be added a lot of FIB (Gross Domestic Happiness) to make things work well.
Plant trees
Trees are the main guarantee for life: they clean the air, nourish the earth, provide food. Without trees there are no acorns, an essential fruit for obtaining quality ham.
Quality food
The quality of a food does not refer exclusively to its nutritional value. In addition, other aspects of its production must be considered, which are related to the principles of fair trade, animal welfare and respect for the environment. We want a whole environment. With the main intention of respecting the Earth and its inhabitants, any product we make will inevitably be healthy and nutritious. A food without synthetic additives and with high nutritional value, but which has not been produced according to these ethical principles, is, from our point of view, questionable in quality.
Ecological production.
Our entire production system, from the management of the land, the raising of the animals and the elaboration of the products, is of ecological production. We do not have another conventional productive line. We are exclusively organic producers.
Extensive / ecological livestock
Extensive livestock farming is characterized by animals living freely on large plots of land. If it is not only extensive but also organic, the conditions of freedom are expanded. In organic livestock farming, transgenics are not permitted, the feed must be completely organic, respect for animal welfare is maximum and care for the Earth is paramount. If the livestock load is adequate, the contamination of aquifers is avoided and soil fertility is protected.
By avoiding overcrowding, hygienic conditions are improved and illnesses are almost non-existent. In the event that they fall ill, we mainly resort to homeopathic and phytotherapeutic remedies, both of which give excellent results. A characteristic of organic production is to promote native breeds. Our pigs are all 100% Iberian (Iberian father and mother).
Organic hams
In addition to hams we also make Spallas, loins, loin of prey, sirloin, sausage, sausage, and other pork derivatives 100% Iberian breeding and own elaboration.
Dehesa and forests.
Of the 700 hectares that we have, we have zones in regeneration. We reforest with native species, to conserve the Mediterranean forest and preserve the continuity of the dehesas.
The dehesa is an example to follow of balance between person and nature. For centuries, humans have been able to obtain resources from this Mediterranean forest without depleting it. In the dehesa, domestic animals and people live together with a wide variety of flora and wild fauna, so that this coexistence continues to exist, it is essential to maintain an adequate agricultural and livestock management. Without the dehesa the Iberian acorn-fed pig would not exist, that is why we take special care of this life-sustaining system.
The dehesa is a daughter of the Mediterranean forest, together they make up the landscape in which we live. Our activity is also creating landscape, that is why it is so important to understand our environment and act in accordance with it.
The Mediterranean forest is resistant and calm, is used to extreme situations and is capable of converting scarcity into abundance. It prints character to the countrymen and countrymen who inhabit it, until they become strong and noble like the oaks.
