Spanish Iberico Pork Presa

The whole pork Presa comes from the Iberian pig and is a particularly tender and juicy piece of meat. The Presa is located in the front back area, between the neck and shoulder, and is characterized by a fine marbling and an intense taste. Due to the pig's diet, mainly acorns, the meat gets its nutty, aromatic character. It is ideal for grilling, roasting or braising and always remains juicy and full of flavor.

• The breed: The Iberian pig has a history of over 2000 years and is kept semi-wild in "Dehesas" under holm oaks and cork oaks. Because of their black claws, they are also called "Pata Negra". There are several breeds: The Black Pig has the highest fat content, the Colorado Pig has the largest muscle content, and the robust Torbiscal is a Spanish-Portuguese crossbreed.
• Habitat: The pigs live in Mediterranean forests with oaks, chestnuts and carob trees. Holm oaks and cork oaks are particularly important, the acorns of which serve as food for the pigs.
• Feeding: In spring and summer, the pigs eat grasses, in autumn and winter acorns. They are additionally fattened with cereals and slaughtered from a minimum weight of 155 kg.
• Quality and taste: The meat has an intense, nutty taste due to the acorn fattening, is darker than ordinary pork and strongly marbled, similar to Wagyu beef

About the manufacturer:

The beginnings can be traced back to 1943. At that time, there were only a handful of tradesmen who dealt with the then still unknown Iberian pig. One of them was Alonso Nieto Manzano. At the age of only 20, the current namesake of the company "Cesar Nieto Martin" had to take over the company in 1967 and quickly became the most important driving force for the years to come.
Together with other companies, Cesar Nieto built his own slaughterhouse in 1985 and was one of the founding fathers of the "Guijuelo" designation of origin in 1986, which is now internationally known and recognized. In 1997, the two oldest sons César Nieto and Jorge Nieto joined the company and are production and sales managers.
