Patanegra Cebo de campo "Cinta Verde"

Patanegra ham is an incomparable taste and aroma experience that is hard to forget. Its meat is deep red in colour and features infiltrations of pinkish-white fat that give it an intense, extremely deep and long-lasting flavour. The "Cinta Verde" ham, both shoulder (paleta) and leg (jamón), is obtained from 50% Iberian-breed pigs raised free-range in the nature reserves of south-western Spain, fed on acorns, plants and feed. The result is a meat with extraordinary nutritional properties, rich in B vitamins, vitamin E and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron and sodium, as well as unsaturated fats, the so-called "good" cholesterol. It also has a concentration of essential amino acids per gram of protein that is much higher than that of meat from other breeds. Finally, thanks to the proteolysis process that occurs during curing, the digestibility index reaches levels ranging between 85% and 100%. The curing period, ranging from 24 to 30 months, guarantees an elegant, refined aroma that is at the same time intense and long-lasting.
