From Sierra de los Pedroches (Córdoba), Spain

COVAP is the largest farmers cooperative in Spain. Since 1959, for over four generations, our farmers have been dedicating their lives to raise the one and only purebred Ibérico pig. Over the years tradition met excellency, and today COVAP is an award-winning company with worldwide renowned products.

Our free-range 100% Ibérico pigs enjoy roaming on very special acorns in one of the largest holm oak forests in the world. They eat up to 20lb of acorns a day! The fallen acorns from these ancient oak trees are sweeter than in other areas in Spain, and as a result, our salt-cured hams are very balanced instead of salty.

The Valle de los Pedroches has the largest expanse of centuries-old holm oaks in the world: over 300,000 hectares of continuous Dehesa, providing acorns to our Ibérico pigs and a natural habitat for them to live freely.

A one-of-a-kind place in the world, with a privileged microclimate for curing that imparts the unmistakable personality to our Ibérico products.

Because we are a cooperative of livestock farmers who, generation after generation, have upheld a commitment to authenticity.

Our livestock farmers have been breeding the finest Acorn-Fed Ibérico pigs for over four generations, making us a symbol of tradition and quality.

These two values are something we can guarantee throughout the entire process, thanks to our closed production cycle, which encompasses raising our 100% Ibérico breed pigs and the artisanal and traditional crafting of all our products.
