Jamones Ibericos de Bellota en Seville
We are a family owned, livestock company dedicated to the breeding of Iberian acorn-fed pigs and sheep.
We are located in Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, a protected area 100km north of Seville, in the municipality of beautiful San Nicolas del Puerto.
Here we select our pigs, a cross between two breeds, the Iberian and the red jersey one. This cross is what gives our ham its characteristic flavour and juicy texture. We carefully take care of our livestock, letting them graze freely amongst acorn trees so they can feed on the freshly fallen fruits.
At the end of the process, our ham is matured in drying facilities run by experts in their field, based in Jabugo, in the province of Huelva.
“Hi I’m José Antonio, I’m a fourth generation livestock breeder. I would love to invite you to visit my beautiful village of San Nicolas del Puerto”.
What is the Dehesa?
The Dehesa is a Mediterranean ecosystem where man, livestock, and nature cooperate to create a full life cycle where all parts benefit from being a part of the system.
The presence of sheep on our farm favours the natural maintenance of the pastures, which achieves a high quality in winter that our pigs thoroughly enjoy, they clean meadow in summer, a crucial step in avoiding bushfires. Thus, we have developed a land usage system within our pasture with harmonious coexistence of sheep and pigs.
Three different types of trees form our Dehesa: Encinas (Olm Oak), Queijos, and Alconoques (Cork Oak), all of them produce acorns to feed our livestock, just the latter, Alcornoque gives us bark to make cork, a gift from nature that comes every nine years.
It takes more than 25 years for these trees to grow and almost 40 to be ready to give us good bark for corks, that’s why we plant new trees for the future generation so they can enjoy the same flourishing ecosystem as we do.
