Pais de Quercus
Iberian acorn-fed pork meats are a great tradition in their artisan elaboration dating back to Roman times. País de Quercus is a society of producers who are passionate about the Iberico pig, native to the ecosystem of the Extremadura pastures (dehesas) where the temperature, rainfall and terrain allow the development of an exclusive breed in free-range conditions, fed on acorns of the genus Quercus, like cork trees, holm-oaks and gall oaks. This creates the reputed “bouquet” unique to Iberian cured meats and hams.
