Iberian pigs are a unique breed native to the Iberian Peninsula, which includes parts of Spain and Portugal. They are known for their distinctive black skin and long legs, allowing them to roam freely in oak forests, where they forage for acorns. This natural diet contributes to the rich flavor of their meat. These pigs are primarily raised for Iberico ham, a highly prized delicacy. The most famous variety, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, comes from pigs that are fed a diet rich in acorns during the final months of their lives. This process enhances the quality and taste of the ham, making it a sought-after gourmet product.
