COVAP Ibéricos

In the heart of the vast lands of the Iberian Peninsula, where time seems to stand still, arises a true gastronomic treasure: COVAP Hams. These Ibérico culinary gems are the result of a firm commitment to purity and excellence.

From its inception, COVAP has stood out for its meticulous attention to origin. The ancient oaks of the region, silent witnesses of past generations, yield their valuable acorns in a ritual that is repeated year after year. This represents the essence of the meadow, where purebred Ibérico pigs, proudly registered in the genealogical book, roam freely, enjoying every corner of these privileged lands.

The secret to the unmatched texture and flavor of these hams lies largely in their diet. The Bellota and Cebo de Campo categories offer a rich and diverse diet: from fresh herbs, thyme, and broom, to acorns during the montanera, not forgetting grains like wheat, corn, and barley. Each bite is a reflection of this varied and natural diet, a symphony of flavors that only Mother Nature can create.

But what truly elevates COVAP Hams to the category of culinary art is their production process. From the first grain of salt from the Odiel salt flats to the last day of maturation in the cellars, each stage is meticulously and expertly supervised by COVAP's master ham makers. These artisans, custodians of an ancestral tradition, ensure that each piece reaches perfection.

In 2016, COVAP was awarded the prize for "Best Ham of Los Pedroches" and also received the prestigious "Superior Taste Award 2016", obtaining the highest recognition with three stars for its exceptional flavor.
