Very succulent, fine-grained meat obtained from Alentejana breed pigs, slaughtered between 8 and 14 months old, registered in the Birth Book and children of father and mother registered in the Portuguese Herd Book of Pigs – Alentejo breed section. The color varies from pale pink to dark pink, depending on the animal's age, with shiny, firm, non-exudative fat, although sometimes excessive on the surface of the carcasses and white in color. Extraordinarily tasty meat, resulting from the animal's diet based on acorns and grass, freely grazed in the cork oak and holm oak forests of the Alentejo and surrounding regions.
