Discover how authentic ham from Huelva is made from free-range pigs. We'll visit a ham curer and take part in a delicious tasting of Iberian tastings.

Description

We'll meet at the indicated time, next to the Descansadero de Marimateos Park, on the outskirts of the town, and make our way to the source of the Odiel River. We'll walk along the trail through the Sierra de Arecena pastures, enjoying the natural beauty of the landscapes of this Natural Park. Our local guide will join us and share insights about the flora and fauna.

Next, we will arrive at the estate where Iberian pigs are let run free. We'll learn about their raising process and the lifestyle of this unique peninsular species that leads to the production of high-quality products. The tour will proceed to the ham and cold meats factory, where we will explore different rooms involved in the production process. In the natural drying and curing room, we will see how the ham is traditionally prepared and the curing methods used.

Finally, we will participate in an authentic cured product tasting, featuring Jamón Iberico de la Bellota (Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham) paired with Marqués de Aracena white and red wine. The on-site shop will be open for purchasing other delicacies at the end of the visit.
