Ibéricos COVAP is a renowned Spanish cooperative specializing in premium 100% acorn-fed Ibérico pork products. Founded in 1959 in Pozoblanco, Córdoba, COVAP (Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de los Pedroches) brings together over 4,500 member farmers dedicated to traditional and sustainable livestock farming practices.
The cooperative is situated in the Los Pedroches Valley, home to one of the world's largest expanses of holm oak forests. This unique ecosystem, known as the dehesa, provides an ideal environment for raising purebred Ibérico pigs. During the montanera season, these free-range pigs roam the dehesa, feeding on acorns, which imparts a distinctive flavor and texture to the meat.
