Grass-Fed Iberian ham from free-range pigs is that which comes from pigs that are at least 50% Iberian breed. Their diet does not usually focus on acorns. These pigs usually live in the pasture or in the countryside , enjoying their freedom. Their diet is mainly based on feed, herbs, cereals and wild fruits that they find in nature.

It is usually the farmer who determines the exact diet based on his resources. As a rule, they are first fed with feed and grain until they reach a certain weight, thus achieving a delicious level of fat.

The essential thing is that, for it to be considered a free-range Iberian ham , the pig must have been raised in freedom. In addition, it is important that one of the parents is 100% pure Iberian breed. Afterwards, it must begin a long curing process of about two years so that it acquires the characteristics of a good Iberian ham.
