In terms of the breed of the animal that constitutes the raw material, two designations have been established:

• Iberico puro: from pure Iberico parents, both registered in the pedigree book.

• Iberico: from an Iberico or Iberico puro mother.

In terms of what the animal is fed immediately prior to slaughter, four designations are established:

• De bellota o terminado en montanera (acorn-fed)
• De recebo o terminado en recebo (fed on a combination of acorn and fodder)
•De cebo de campo (fodder-fed in the open air)
• De cebo (fodder-fed in pig sheds)

In order to satisfythe guidelines established by the quality standard, systems have been put in place to ensure the traceability of our products. This involves the strict monitoring of the animals from birth to the sale of the products made from their meat.

This labelling process for the Hams (Jamones), Front Shoulders (Paletas) and Loins (Lomos) guarantees complete andtruthfulinformation on the nature and characteristics of the products acquired by the consumer.

We are convinced that technological innovation introducedalongside production experience and the proven quality of the products on offer willsatisfy the expectations of even the most demanding consumer.

Even though all change requires considerable effort, we are firmly committed to the implementation of this standard, which aims to clarify the market and organise the Iberico sector.
