Dehesa de Campo Alto took shape and became a reality thanks to the hard work of the Adell family, which has been in farming for several generations and now focuses all its efforts on sharing the skills gained over a lifetime spent breeding and rearing top-class Iberian pigs.
With work and perseverance as its maxims, and thanks to its experience and know-how, the family now has a full-life-cycle Iberian pig farm in the area of Los Pedroches in Córdoba. This area has splendid oak woodland and pastures, ideal for the traditional, free-range, acorn-based fattening of Iberian pigs, and is endorsed by a prestigious, first-rate designation of origin: Los Pedroches (Córdoba).

The environment
Los Pedroches, Córdoba (Spain)
Weather and geographical features form one of the most stunning ecosystems ever seen where we find holm oaks and cork oaks that provide plenty of acorns and make the Pedroches de Córdoba Dehesa a unique place. For years, pig breeders generations have trusted this ecosystem with their pigs.
Nowadays, Dehesa de Campo Alto breeds and fusses over its own pigs in order to carry on with the dedication and traditions of a wide career.
Our pigs
The Pedroches de Córdoba Dehesa is one of the best and most authentic dehesas in Spain. This environment allows the Montanera system, which usually happens in the last stage of pigs' life, in which acorns and the variety of grass found here are essential.
Our naturally bred pigs live in harmony with nature. We respect their environment and freedom so that each of them produces delightful, surprising and unique pieces.
Therefore, our pigs, nourished with the best natural food, grow in an extraordinary extensive and non-extensive environment making a unique piece out of each of them.
Acorn-fed Iberian Ham
Our pigs are reared through extensive breeding in the best Cordovan dehesas and fed with acorns during the Montanera stage. During the production process, the ham is cooled down, salted, washed, balanced, dried and cured in natural caves.
“Cured for a minimum of 30 months”
