This breed is exceptional and privileged by nature, and nowadays it is only found in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula. The Alentejana Breed is descended from the “Sus mediterraneus” (southern wild boar), deriving from the Iberian or Romanesque stock. Due to its genetics and lack of crossbreeding with other breeds, it has a greater capacity for intramuscular fat infiltration. This explains the marbled ribs that give the meat a unique greasiness and texture and an unmistakable taste and aroma.
