For three generations, Los Romeros de Alanís continue to control the entire process from the beginning, ensuring success. We raise and take care of our pigs until they are slaughtered on our own farms, ensuring that we achieve the highest levels of quality required by their main raw material. Our vision is to constantly maintain the character and family personality of the production at the level that our best customers demand of us. FEEDING OF THE IBERIAN PIG The staple food of the Iberian pig is acorn, a fruit emanating from centuries-old holm oaks and cork oaks. In addition, this diet of the Iberian pig is complemented by herbs, wild legumes and fruits of the grasses typical of the dehesa. Acorn contains a high level of monounsaturated fatty acids. These acids influence the level of cholesterol in the blood, helping to reduce "bad cholesterol" and increase "good cholesterol." Acorn is also a source of vitamin E , an antioxidant that helps eliminate free radicals responsible for aging. La capacidad de esta vitamina para proteger las membranas celulares e impedir su oxidación hace que sea la responsable de poseer cualidades preventivas en muchas enfermedades degenerativas que van apareciendo con la edad, como por ejemplo el Parkinson. Además, la bellota contiene un flavonoide llamado quercetina que destaca por su alta actividad antioxidante. Por este motivo se produce esa relación tan importante entre jamón y salud.
