Description
Each pig follows a meticulous feeding and rearing process:
First stage: Raised on natural cereals produced in BEHER’s own facilities, reaching a weight of 40–50 kg.
Dehesa stage: Free to roam in vast pastures, feeding on cereals, grass, tubers, roots, and acorns. During the montanera season, starting in October, the pigs feed exclusively on acorns, reaching an adult weight of approximately 180 kg.
This salchichón is prepared following the traditional recipes of our ancestors to preserve its authentic, natural flavor. The finest cuts of meat are selected with care, leaving only a minimal amount of fat. The meat is then coarsely ground, stuffed into natural casing, and slowly cured to perfection.
This half-piece format balances tradition with practicality, making it ideal for sharing at any occasion.
