The Alentejo breed is a descendent of the sus mediterraneus wild boar from the south, deriving from Iberian or Roman lineage;
Due to its genetics and the fact that it was not crossed with other breeds, it has greater capacity for the infiltration of intramuscular fat;
This explains the marble-like veins that give the meat its unique greasiness and texture, in addition to an unmistakable taste and aroma;
Historically preserved in Portugal, the Alentejo Breed is a unique and valued breed throughout the world and is recognised for its authenticity
