COVAP Jamón Ibérico Wholesale | Official Los Pedroches Distributor
The Heritage of COVAP (Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de los Pedroches) is rooted in a farmer-owned cooperative model that spans generations. Our Alta Expresión line represents the pinnacle of this dedication, sourced exclusively from 100% Ibérico pigs raised in the ancestral dehesas of Valle de los Pedroches. By controlling every stage—from superior genetics and acorn-rich diets to patient natural curing—we ensure a product of unmatched quality and traceability for the global wholesale market.
The Heritage: COVAP and the Valle de los Pedroches Cooperative
The story of COVAP (Cooperativa Ganadera del Valle de los Pedroches) is one of collective resilience and uncompromising quality. Founded as a farmer-owned cooperative in 1959, COVAP has transformed the oak-studded Valle de los Pedroches into a global benchmark for sustainable livestock farming. By controlling the entire lifecycle—from the superior genetics of the 100% Ibérico pigs to the centuries-old artisanal curing methods—this cooperative model ensures absolute traceability and ethical production. This dedication to land and lineage culminated in the Alta Expresión luxury line, a selection representing the absolute apex of artisanal Jamón Ibérico, crafted for those who demand ethical provenance alongside unparalleled culinary excellence.
The Technical Specs: COVAP Alta Expresión
100% Ibérico Heritage
Natural Open-Air Curing
Oleic-Rich Profile
The COVAP Alta Expresión line represents the pinnacle of genetic purity. Every pig is 100% Ibérico, registered in the genealogical book, ensuring authentic breed characteristics and exceptional marbling.
Due to the pure acorn-fed diet, the fat profile of COVAP Alta Expresión hams is rich in oleic acid (over 54%). This produces a silky texture that melts at room temperature and offers heart-healthy benefits.
Our hams undergo a slow, natural curing process in our high-altitude drying rooms. Curing times range from 36 to over 60 months, allowing flavors to deepen into complex, persistent notes.
