Acorn-fed Iberian pata negra ham Los Pedroches PDO

Acorn-fed Ham by Belloterra with Los Pedroches PDO

At the top of the range of Iberian hams produced by Belloterra is this acorn-fed pata negra ham with Los Pedroches PDO. It is produced with great care and by taking care to select the best raw materials so that the ham obtained is also the best.

To do this, Belloterra has its own herd of purebred Iberian pigs (100% Iberian breed) with which it subsequently produces its pata negra ham. In this way they are certain of raising the best pigs, in the best conditions, which means that their pata negra acorn-fed ham is also among the best hams in Spain, which has recently been recognised as one of the best hams in the world. The pigs in its herd are raised in freedom and fed on acorns, mainly during the montanera season, in the months before they are slaughtered.

To the more than proven high quality of its raw material, Belloterra adds a traditional production process and a slow curing process, with which they make this Acorn-fed pata negra ham. This gives rise to extraordinary sensations on the palate, which only Belloterra is able to achieve.
