About Hidalgo de la Jara
Hidalgo de la Jara has been connected to Iberian pigs and the Los Pedroches dehesa for five generations. Its history is rooted in raising 100% Iberian pigs and in a way of working closely tied to the land, in one of Spain's most established Iberian-producing regions.
The animals are born and raised free-range, making use of the resources of the dehesa. For pigs destined for acorn-fed products, the montanera is the final stage of feeding, based on acorns, grass and other natural resources. During the rest of the year, feeding also remains linked to the land, with cereals and legumes grown so the animals can graze them directly in the fields.
In Villanueva de Córdoba, in the heart of Los Pedroches, Hidalgo de la Jara controls the process from raising the animals through to the production of its Iberian products. Hams, shoulder hams, cured loins, sausages and other products are made from its own raw material, with methods adapted to the characteristics of each product and with the necessary time given to each stage.
The connection with Los Pedroches is also part of the producer's history: Hidalgo de la Jara was among the promoters of the Los Pedroches Protected Designation of Origin, taking part alongside other farmers and producers in the area in developing the standards that shaped the designation.
