The jewel in the crown of Spanish gastronomy: melting, succulent meat.
During the grazing season, Iberian acorn-fed pigs roam freely across the meadows, feeding on acorns and wild herbs which bring a unique and nuanced flavour to every piece.
Their long meanders through the meadows enhance their high fat infiltration capacity, resulting in cuts with perfect fat marbling. In addition, their fat contains a high percentage of oleic acid: a nutrient that is also present in virgin olive oil.
Exclusively found on the Iberian Peninsula, the Vall Company’s Group’s 100% Iberian pigs come from pure gene pools: with 100% pure Iberian parents and grandmothers.
This is a very special breed and highly regarded in Spanish cuisine for its excellent quality.
These are animals with a unique constitution, a special genetic make-up that makes itself evident in every cut: thanks to the high level of fat infiltration, the meat from this pig is tender and very juicy.
Iberian fodder-fed pigs are raised by the Vall Companys Group to the very highest standards of animal welfare: on specially equipped, low-density farms that are increasingly fitted with straw beds. In addition they are nourished on our own feed made from grains and pulses (wheat, corn, barley, etc.).
The Vall Companys Group raises 50%, 75% and 100% Iberian breeds.
An up-and-coming breed that is becoming more and more popular in Spanish cuisine thanks to its flavour and texture.
The Duroc pig is the result of a cross between the Old Duroc and Red Jersey breeds, and because of its genetic characteristics it is the only breed authorised for crossing with the Iberian pig
The Vall Companys Group raises 100% and 50% Duroc breeds, the latter being the result of a cross between the Danbred Duroc and White pigs. These animals are raised in specially selected farms and nourished with feed produced in-house to optimise their growth and constitution.
The Duroc breed has a very high infiltration capacity which results in extremely juicy, well-flavoured meat.
The most popular and widely-consumed breed of pig.
At the Vall Companys Group, these animals come from crosses between the Pietrain, Large White and Landrace breeds: three highly specialised breeds that produce lean, high quality pork.
During the breeding period they are kept on perfectly equipped farms and fed with feed produced in-house to meet their specific characteristics and growth needs.
With short, thick legs, the Large White pig does not build up a layer of subcutaneous fat, nor does the fat infiltrate the muscles, resulting in lean, mild-flavoured meat.
