“El Encinar de Poniente”, a privileged location in the pastures of Extremadura

 

Holm oaks, cork oaks, grass and pure air

Time moves at a leisurely pace in “El Encinar de Poniente”, our estate in the pastures of Extremadura. This environment of age-old holm oaks and cork oaks has abundant grass and water which appears in the form of pools and streams.

 

It is a characteristic “montanera” ecosystem, perfect for rearing Iberian pigs. The combination of grass and acorns, which the animals find by rooting around in the earth, forms their diet.

 

This is the privileged nature of this location. It is one of the bases on which Marcial’s outstanding quality is built.
