About Pata Negra

At Pata Negra, we value and put into practice the knowledge inherited from past generations, with the aim of presenting a final product of excellence. Each piece is synonymous with tradition, flavor, and a reflection of a meticulous process that ranges from salting to curing and aging in the cellars. We remain faithful to our origins and exalt the authenticity of the Iberian breed that determines the flavor and aroma of the products. The Iberian Black Pig is a breed native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is characterized as a unique breed due to its very specific eating habits, as it is mainly raised on acorns and grass in the pastures of Portugal and Spain. This unique diet gives the meat a distinct flavor and texture, as well as a high level of unsaturated fat, which is considered healthier. The Iberian Black Pig is highly valued and appreciated in gastronomy due to its exceptional meat and unique qualities.Read their story
