Deep Roots, Everlasting Fruits:
The Importance of Our Heritage
The Dehesa is not only a refuge for a rich biodiversity, but also the ideal home for raising the Iberian pig, an emblematic breed of Spanish gastronomy. During the montanera, the pigs feed on acorns, which gives their meat an unparalleled flavor and texture.
The production of Iberian ham is a symbol of quality and exquisiteness, and its curing process, which can take several years, highlights the deep connection between man, pig and the land that nourishes them.
This region, known as the cradle of olive oil, is home to millions of olive trees that not only contribute to the production of one of the most valued oils in the world, but also sustain the local economy through employment and tourism.
Therefore, olive groves are not only a natural resource, but also a cultural legacy that is passed down from generation to generation.
