Who makes it
Agustín Lobato is sixty-seven and has been the swineherd at Dehesa El Rincón since he was fifteen. The farm has been in his family since 1972. His son is a lawyer in Madrid and is not coming back.
Celia Durán is thirty-one and a vet from Fregenal. In 2024 Agustín offered her a job with him and she said yes before he had finished the sentence. Now she knows every sow by her ear.
Agustín is looking for someone to keep the dehesa going when he no longer can. That is why we are looking at it joining @seis, with Celia running it. This ham takes three years. Do not rush it.
How it is made
01
From November to February the Ibérico pigs eat acorns and grass through the acorn season.
02
The legs are covered in sea salt, then washed and left to rest in the cold.
03
They move to the natural drying house, where the fat sweats in summer with the windows open.
04
They finish in the cellar until they reach three years and are sliced by hand.
Other regions
Fregenal de la Sierra is in the south of Badajoz, in the dehesa that runs down towards Huelva. Holm oaks and cork oaks spaced well apart, grass underneath and black pigs in between.
What we are allowed to say
Cured ham is high in protein. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
What they do so it lasts
- 01In the acorn season each pig has more than a hectare of dehesa to itself.
- 02The holm oaks are pruned so they give acorns, and the wood ends up in the drying house.
- 03Rainwater ponds give the animals water all year round.
