100% Acorn-Fed Iberian Ham Oro Pata Negra, Boneless, Beher
Technical sheet:
The pigs spend the first stage of their lives on the farm, feeding on natural cereals prepared on the premises until they reach a weight of between 40 and 50kg, when they are moved to the dehesa pastures.
There they enjoy an exquisite diet made up of this selection of cereals, together with grasses, tubers, roots and acorns, reaching 90/100kg by early October (when the montanera season begins), the moment when the acorns fall and on which they feed exclusively until they reach an approximate weight of 180kg as adults. This is essential to preserve the Iberian breed and to be able to call it acorn-fed Iberian.
These Iberian hams, thanks to the breed that defines them and their exquisite diet, have a long, elegant shank with golden, fluid fat on the outside, while the inside shows a pink, melting appearance that fills the mouth with intense and lingering nuances.
Tasting Notes
In the 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham Oro “Pata Negra” we find a ruby-red hue, delicate marbling and a high percentage of oleic acid, which helps maintain an adequate level of cholesterol in the blood. It is also rich in protein, vitamin B1, iron, zinc, magnesium, folic acid and vitamin E (an excellent antioxidant). On the nose, we recognize intense and pleasant aromas unique to 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham, true to 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 period and long maturation, resulting in a healthier, more flavorful product that is pleasing to every palate.
