The Ibérico Pig
Redondo Iglesias has been producing Iberian pork products since its inception in 1920. This breed of pig is native to the Iberian Peninsula and is distinguishable due to its semi-wild state of living.
The Ibérico breed is characterized by its dark skin and dark hooves, which give this pig its locally famous name: pata negra .
Ibérico pigs are raised for over a year and undergo a slow breeding process, which contributes to the product’s characteristic taste, high fat infiltration and value.
Upon their feeding during the last two months, Ibérico pigs are categorized into:
