100% Acorn-Fed Iberian Ham Oro Pata Negra, Beher
Technical sheet:
The pigs spend the first stage of their lives on the farm, feeding on natural cereals produced on-site until they reach a weight of between 40 and 50kg, when they are moved to the dehesa pastures.
There they enjoy an exceptional diet made up of this selection of cereals, as well as grasses, tubers, roots and acorns, reaching 90/100kg by early October (when the montanera season begins), the moment when the acorns fall and become their exclusive food until they reach an approximate adult weight of 180kg. This is essential to preserve the Iberian breed and to be able to call it acorn-fed Iberian.
These Iberian hams, thanks to their characteristic breed and exquisite diet, have an elongated, slender shank with golden, fluid fat on the outside, while the inside reveals a pink, melting appearance that fills the mouth with intense, lingering nuances.
Tasting Note
In the 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham Oro “Pata Negra” we discover a ruby-red hue, delicate marbling and a high percentage of oleic acid, which helps maintain an adequate level of cholesterol in the blood, as well as being rich in protein, vitamin B1, iron, zinc, magnesium, folic acid and vitamin E (an excellent antioxidant). On the nose, we detect intense and pleasant aromas exclusive to 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham, reflecting its character and personality. On the palate, we appreciate an intense and persistent flavor with the characteristic sweetness of BEHER Oro 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham, due to a shorter salting time and long maturation, achieving a healthier and tastier product, enjoyable for every palate.
