Directly translated, “dula” is the Spanish term for pasture. But in Spain, and as with any respectable terroir, it means so much more. Representing close to 4 million hectares across the Iberian Peninsula, overlapping with Spain and Portugal, a Dula or dehesa holds its origin from the Mediterranean forest ecosystem. A dula hosts a unique co-existence of trees at high altitudes, which includes the notorious oak tree that produces the Bellota (acorn). This makes the region ideal for many herbaceous animals to live, especially our beloved “Ibérico” porks 🐖.

​

Some dulas are actually quite well known. Have you heard of Jabugo? Salamanca? Huelva? Well those are all regions where Ibérico porks have been raised! All our products come from Spain only. They have been selected from the best dulas where our expert ham crafters still follow the traditional techniques that have been appreciated and awarded by some of the most demanding experts.
