Mevalco announces new winter line-up

Available in a range of formats and pack sizes, the winter range has been specially created to respond to the growing demand for authentic Spanish products.

Mevalco’s acorn-fed (Bellota) Ibérico Pork is unique to the Iberian Península, has a characteristic dark red colour and high levels of fat marbling which sets it apart from other pork meat, in terms of flavour, texture and succulence. The pigs are acorn-fed, free-range pigs and not from industrial husbandry.

Mevalco’s authentic Wild Boar has a nutty, rich flavour and is sourced from free-roaming populations in the remote areas in the North of Extremadura, South of Castilla-Leon. Mevalco offers Wild Boar Salchichón with Peppercorn (£2.49/220g) and diced Wild Boar (1kg £8.50).

Mevalco’s exclusive and award-winning range of free range, acorn-fed hams, which come from the Los Pedroches area, in Córdoba, Andalucía, are considered the most populous and best preserved oak meadows in the world. From this area, Mevalco brings Cebo de Campo hams, Bellota hams, Morcón, Chorizo and Salchichón Bellota. The abundance of oak acorn, high in natural sugars, gives the Los Pedroches ham its characteristic sweet taste.

The Bellota Ibérico ham on the bone (7-8kg £44.95) has been cured for more than 36 months. The Bellota Ibérico ham on the bone premium (7-8kg £48.50) is cured for more than 40 months.

Alongside the full range of hams, Mevalco also offers the full set of ham carving equipment within its product range and the team at Mevalco is expert in ham carving, offering ham carving displays at various catering events across the UK.

David Menendez, CEO of Mevalco said, “We are very passionate the sourcing of our Ibérico Pork, Wild Boar and Ibérico Bellota Belloterra hams and aim to be as sustainable as we can. Our Wild Boar, for example is a totally sustainable meat – the Wild Boar roams free, feeding only from its natural landscape and so the meat is free of preservatives. Sourcing our meat in this way helps to add value and create jobs in some of the most isolated and rural areas in Europe.”
