A century in the Sierra de Francia

Castro y González has cured ibérico in La Alberca since 1910. The same family, the same cellars, the same patient cold-and-warm cycle that the mountain gives them for free — no shortcuts, no thermostats.

Their acorn-fed pigs roam the dehesa through the montanera, the autumn months when the holm oaks drop their acorns. Each leg then cures for at least 36 months.

Why we chose them

  • 100% and 75% ibérico de bellota, cured 36+ months
  • Family-run, four generations deep
  • Our exclusive maker — you will not find this leg anywhere else in the US
Ibérico pigs in the dehesa
· Our dehesa ·

Oak country, and acorns for the pigs.

The estate sits at about 600 metres. The pigs have room to roam and live on acorns through the montanera season — that acorn diet is what gives the fat its marbling.
