About ibérico pork
1
To start with there are 2 basic aspects that we must now:
2
1. It is a sector where we can find a large number of companies, many of them being small local manufacturers that compete with just a few large sized ones with national distribution, therefore forming a wide offer of brands and strong competition.
Once this is cleared, it is important to know that the world of ibérico is regulated by: The Ibérico Quality Norms (RD 1469/2007 dated 2nd November 2007) which defines the quality aspects and requirements and establishes the denominations of authorized sales so that the products can be sold as Ibérico. The norm affects those products that are sold as fresh meat and ham, shoulder and loin products* in their various formats (sliced and retail packed).
2. On the other hand we know that in the market there is a generalized lack of knowledge of the product, which is even greater when it comes to the consumer. The lack of information can lead to a general mistrust or insecurity: do we know what we are buying? Do we really value the product?
What is more, it implies that the manufacturers of Ibérico must be certified by one of the external companies that exist for this.

In our case, ELPOZO ALIMENTACIÓN offers a double quality guarantee:
1. Through our Integrated Process Control, which allows us to define and control all the activities of our chain of value with the aim of offering the market products in optimum conditions.
After this introduction, we are going to see what factors contribute to defining the quality and denomination of Ibérico products The quality depends on 3 variables: 1. The genetics and breed of the animal. 2. The feed that is used in the final fattening process of the ibérico pig. 3. And the processing of the meat and or products. The denomination of the products will derive from just the first 2 factors: Breed and Feed.
2. Externally, through the certifying company Certicalidad SL, which certifies our processes and products in line with the Quality Norm, confirming that the products we distribute offer all the minimum guarantees covered by law.

Lets go into more depth with each of these points Regarding Breed, the animal may be: Pure Ibérico: When both the parent pigs are 100% Ibérico breed. Ibérico: in the rest of the cases whenever the mother sow is 100% pure Ibérico or Ibérico breed. What is more, regarding the hairs and skin color, we can distinguish between the varieties as follows: Black: which can be • Lampiña • Entrepelado
Red: which can be • Rubia • Retinta • Manchada • Torbiscal

Regarding the FEEDING of the Ibérico Pork, there are four different types(*): Bellota: it is exclusively fed on acorns and natural pastures of the meadows, in the outdoors. Recebo: It is also fed on acorns and natural pastures of the meadows, as well as with natural feeds. Cebo (field): It is exclusively fed on natural feeds, held for a minimum period in the field. Cebo: it is fed exclusively on natural feeds (cereals and legumes) until reaching the sacrifice weight.
