Imagine you’re strolling through the vast dehesas, connecting with nature, breathing fresh air, engaging all five senses as you become one with the land. Pigs roaming freely, feeding on the best acorns in a climate that is ideal for curing… How could we not have the most delicious cured meats and sausages?

Don’t miss the chance to explore the dehesa in villages like Santibáñez el Bajo, Ahigal, Oliva de Plasencia, or Villar de Plasencia, where you’ll see many olive trees, but also oak, holm oak, cork oak, pine, and yew.

Ambroz-Cáparra is renowned for its high-quality cured meats and sausages. Try the Iberian ham, pork loin, chorizo and salchichón, all produced using traditional methods and bursting with exceptional flavour.

Pigs graze in the dehesas, as do the cows and calves, which makes for the highest quality meat. One of the regional specialities is grilled meat. It’s famous for its grilled pork cheek, secreto (skirt), entrecôte, ribeye steak, and more.
