El Retorno – Our Ibérico Pig Ranch
● Our Ibérico pigs are raised on the best pastures in the province of Extremadura in South-West of Spain. It is on this 1000 hectares land, that we can ensure that their living environment promotes natural breeding.
● It is only through natural breeding that it is possible to achieve the distinct and desired fat infiltration in the muscle. Even though naturally bred, the pigs’ genetics are controlled and guaranteed thanks to our pure Ibérico breed female pigs.
● Between the months of October and February during the montanera season, our Ibérico pigs are sent to the most fruitful Dehesas (holm oak fields) in the southwest of Spain in order to feed on acorns and double their weight.
● It is this crucial step that develops the unique flavour of the Ibérico de Bellota.
