Meet the Maker: Texas Iberico® and the Heritage of the Iberico Pig

At Dos Olivos Markets, we’re passionate about bringing the world’s finest flavors to your table, which is why we’re excited to introduce our collaboration with Texas Iberico®. Known for raising Iberico pigs in the rugged Texas Hill Country, Texas Iberico® melds Spanish heritage with Texas terroir, creating an unrivaled taste experience.

The Iberico Pig: A Unique Heritage

The Iberico pig hails from Spain, famous for its distinct marbling and earthy, nutty flavor, often attributed to a diet of acorns in free-range environments. Texas Iberico® honors this lineage, raising Iberico pigs in a similar natural setting in Texas. These pigs roam free, feeding on acorns, mesquite beans, and other native flora that impart a Texan twist to their already famous taste profile.

Why Texas is Ideal for Iberico Pigs

The Hill Country’s open spaces and warm climate provide an ideal habitat for Iberico pigs to roam freely, mimicking the traditional dehesa (oak pastures) of Spain. This unique environment influences the pigs’ diet and lifestyle, leading to a distinctive flavor profile with a hint of Texas’ mesquite and local plants.

Commitment to Ethical Farming

Texas Iberico® is dedicated to sustainable, ethical farming practices that allow the pigs to thrive naturally. This approach doesn’t just benefit the animals—it produces high-quality, responsibly sourced meat that reflects a commitment to environmental stewardship.
