The Flavour
The Black Pig is fed with acorns, creating juicier, tastier meat with a more intense aroma. Its fat is rich in oleic acid, with characteristics similar to those of olive oil. It has several positive nutritional properties and promotes cholesterol reduction.

Our customers recognise the flavours and the traditions of our products.
Traditions of Alentejo
The Alentejo is the largest region in Portugal. The richness of its landscapes varies from typical plains to mountainous areas. Its immense plains and agricultural production provide the necessary conditions for products of excellence.
Estremoz is part of the subgroup of municipalities of the Central Alentejo. It is part of an integrated region known as the 'Marble Zone', a sub-region that also includes the municipalities of Alandroal, Borba and Vila Viçosa. It has a privileged geographical position at the crossroads of two important developmental axes: Lisbon-Madrid and Faro-Guarda, which gives it great strategic importance and easy accessibility.
