In the region of Extremadura the \u201cDehesa\u201d occupies more than half of the territory, with around 2 million hectares formed from Holm oaks, Cork oaks, and other species.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font-size-14 margin-bottom-25″]The \u201cDehesa\u201d is a unique example of sustainable development<\/strong>, which reaches an equilibrium between obtaining natural products, and conservation of the rolling hills, and could be called a wild-land domesticated by man.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font-size-14 margin-bottom-25″]If the \u201cDehesa\u201d is one of the marvels of nature that is still conserved in the world, the Iberico pig forms part of its roots and possesses genetics that would be impossible to imagine in any other place<\/strong>, growing up freely in unequaled locations and enjoying a relaxed life in harmony with nature.<\/p>\n

In these magic-filled ancestral woods, the oaks are the friendly and eternal protectors of the life in this remote place, where it seems that time doesn\u00b4t pass, and where each autumn with the skies turning grey these species produce their miraculous fruiting. Each year after the appearance of the first rains, the dehesas transform into green carpets where millions of acorns are covered by grasses, announcing the coming of autumn, and enabling what is known as \u201cMontanera<\/strong>\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font-size-14 margin-bottom-25″]During the \u201cMontanera\u201d which extends from October to March, the supervised feeding is based exclusively on acorns and natural feeds<\/strong>, with Iberico pigs being individually controlled in their weight-gain. The animals begin this stage at around 90kg and can reach 160kg at the end of this stage.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font-size-14 margin-bottom-25″]The environment, history, and tradition has made the region of Extremadura a gastronomic reference<\/strong> for the largest production of the Iberico pig in Spain, and for the recognized quality of the meat produced from these acorn-fed animals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][vc_single_image image=”3662″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” use_grad=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1521727269370{background-image: url(http:\/\/jamonappetit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fondofrase.jpg?id=3445) !important;}” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #ABCCAD), color-stop(100%, #DEDE7C));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#ABCCAD 0%,#DEDE7C 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#ABCCAD 0%,#DEDE7C 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#ABCCAD 0%,#DEDE7C 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#ABCCAD 0%,#DEDE7C 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#ABCCAD 0%,#DEDE7C 100%);”][vc_column][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][la_heading title=”Nutrici\u00f3n”][\/la_heading][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”3467,3468,3469″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][vc_column_text]El jam\u00f3n Ib\u00e9rico de bellota<\/strong> extreme\u00f1o goza de un gran prestigio culinario desde tiempos remotos<\/strong>, es un alimento con un poder nutricional espectacular,<\/strong> que contiene prote\u00ednas, vitaminas B1, B6, B12 y \u00e1cido f\u00f3lico, muy beneficiosas<\/strong> para el sistema nervioso y el buen funcionamiento del cerebro.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Tambi\u00e9n es rico en vitamina E, un poderoso antioxidante, y en minerales como el cobre, esencial para los huesos y cart\u00edlagos, calcio, hierro, zinc, magnesio, f\u00f3sforo y selenio, este \u00faltimo muy ligado a procesos de anti envejecimiento.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][la_divider height=”lg:30px;”][vc_column_text]Tiene efectos positivos sobre el colesterol en sangre, propiciando un incremento de la tasa del colesterol beneficioso<\/strong> (HDL) y reduciendo la tasa del colesterol perjudicial (LDL).
