Embutidos Fermín's Lomo de Bellota 100% Ibérico Gourmet is a premium cured pork loin made from free-range, purebred Iberian pigs that roam freely in the dehesa during the montanera season (October to February), feeding on acorns, grass, and other natural resources.
This acorn-rich diet imparts a distinctive flavor and delicate texture to the meat, while enhancing its marbling and juiciness. The loin is seasoned with mild paprika and undergoes a natural curing process of at least 70 days in La Alberca, Salamanca, situated over 1,100 meters above sea level in the heart of the Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Natural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Embutidos Fermín is a family-owned company established in 1956 in La Alberca, a medieval village in the province of Salamanca, Spain. The company specializes in the production and distribution of premium Iberian hams and sausages, using traditional methods and the highest quality raw materials.
With over 60 years of experience, Embutidos Fermín became the first Spanish producer authorized to export Iberian products to the United States, expanding its market to Japan, Canada, China, and Singapore. Located in a natural environment at over 1,000 meters above sea level, the company benefits from a unique microclimate that enables the natural curing of its products, enhancing their exceptional taste and quality.
