When Iberian pigs are still piglets, they stay in the pigsty until the cork and gall oak trees in the dehesa are heavy with acorns. They are then moved to the pasture, where they live free-range until they are slaughtered. Four factors make Iberian hams and shoulders a gastronomic wonder: the breed, indigenous to Spain, whose meat has a truly exceptional taste; the ecosystem of the dehesa, with its cork, holm and gall oak woods that cover the south-west of the Iberian peninsula, bearing the acorns that are the pigs' main feed for the months before they are slaughtered; the careful handling of the free-range reared pigs; and the slow, measured natural curing system that brings the very best out of these Iberian hams only after many months.
