Elaborados Ocas Iglesias Adoption

With your adoption you are supporting a goose farmer who has decided to do things differently, raising his animals in freedom, without force-feeding and caring about animal welfare.

You are supporting a traditional farmer who has opted for innovation and together with his family has set up a goose farm in Calzadilla de los Barros, Extremadura, a region used by these birds as a resting area on their migrations but where there is no tradition of breeding this animal.

Pedro José decided to breed goose as a way of expanding the diversity of products of his land, the goose offers very interesting gastronomic possibilities, this combined with the livestock tradition of the area allows him to offer a unique product such as acorn-fed goose ham, a delight for the palate that has nothing to envy to the pata negra hams.

You support a family that despite the difficulties has decided to raise their animals in freedom, a process that has taken them more than 5 years of experiments and trials to adapt their farm and the animal to the Extremadura environment.

Due to this form of breeding, the animals are continually exercising and feeding on the farm’s own resources. The diet of Pedro Jose’s geese consists largely of acorns, figs and cereals, this healthy lifestyle makes the animal live happily and carefree and this results in a high quality, healthy meat with an incredible flavour profile.

In the quest to differentiate their product from the rest through animal welfare, one of the great struggles of this family has been to be able to have facilities on their farm for the entire production cycle of the goose, breeding, slaughtering and processing, which is very complicated under Spanish legislation. Integral facilities avoid having to subject the animals to stress and suffering during transport.

In short, by adopting Pedro Jose you are supporting a different way of doing things, innovating through tradition and respect for animal welfare, something particularly difficult to find in the goose industry. You are supporting a unique and surprising product that you will receive every four months at your doorstep.

Every four months we will send you a box with:

1 x Acorn-fed Goose Ham (100g Vacuum-packed tray)

Hand-sliced.

Handmade throughout the whole process, drying, curing, cutting and packaging. It is made from the magret of geese raised in the wild and fed with acorns that give it a flavour that differentiates it from any other similar product.

This jamon, whether as a starter or appetizer, makes the difference between a normal meal and an exquisite one that will surprise the rest of the guests. With a smooth texture and excellent quality, the marbling of the meat and the nutty tones of its flavour make it similar to the best Iberian hams.
