Our Bísaro pigs are born and raised free-range, within the Montesinho Natural Park, fed with chestnuts and cereals from the region. It is this field-to-cure control that sustains every ham, every sausage, every 'alheira': preserved autochthonous breed, local feed, and solar energy for self-consumption in Gimonde, Bragança

The Bísaro pig is one of the Portuguese autochthonous pig breeds with the oldest history. Hardy, slow-growing, and reared outdoors, it yields meat with marbled texture and intramuscular fat that distinguishes the traditional smoked meats of Trás-os-Montes.

Raising Bísaro pigs today is an act of conservation: of a breed, of a territory, and of a method.
