A TIME-HONORED TRADITION

Guijuelo is found at the foot of the “Sierra de Gredos,” and is the land of Iberian tradition. Estrella de Castilla is the heir to this tradition, continuing on the time-loved custom of quality Iberico ham. Guijuelo is surrounded by cold winds, more than 1000 meters above sea level. It has the perfect climate to raise Iberian pigs, surrounded by ancient oak and cork trees, producing the best acorns, the pigs’ staple diet. The incredible quality of their acorns is one of the secrets to their special and unique curing processes.
