In the next five years, ‘Los Hernandez’ will expand internationally on new continents, promoting the selling of quality, environmentally friendly products which are elaborated through low-mechanic and low-industrial steps with the intention of preserve to the most every flavour and nuance.

THE DEHESAS
It is a region located in Extremadura (Spain) where our Iberican pigs live free in the countryside and meadow, fed by grass, cereals and acorns.
This freedom is the most important factor which allow these animals to be reared naturally, without stress, animal abuse and/or fattening.

THE PROCESSES
The traditional salting and drying originates rich nuances, with organoleptic properties which trigger our salivary glands with the only action of smelling a slice of ham as thin as a sheet of paper.
