Covap raises pure Iberico pigs fed on acorns and transforms them into the finest cured meats on earth. They use a cooperative model with hundreds of partners, the largest livestock farmers' cooperative in Spain. They are fully integrated from fields to table, including feed production, meat, cured Iberico products and dairy. Covap raises 100% Iberico pigs in their Dehesa, a very large ancient pastureland where the Iberico pigs roam free range and the Holm Oak produces the sweetest acorns.
Covaps minimum curing period is 36 months compared to the standard 24 months. This produces the white spots, tyrosine crystals, that appear on the ham. Their products are fully traceable from origin until it reaches your hands.
