The Charra cattle raised by our longtime Spanish friend Victor in Salamanca are more than just “organic” in the conventional sense.

Although this is purely speculative:
The Charra cattle, living on these beautiful and expansive pastures, would probably get along quite well with their smaller companions, the Pata Negra pigs. After all, they’re both true gourmets. Like the pigs, the Charra cattle feed almost exclusively on their favourite treat – juicy acorns. In addition, these slender, elegant animals with long, curved horns – a cross between Morucha and French Charolais breeds – also graze on grasses and herbs from Victor’s pastures.

Instead of harvesting the grain crops, the passionate farmer leaves them to the rhythm of Mother Nature – to be enjoyed directly by his animals. As chairman of the Ternera Charra association, this agricultor lives his passion fully and personally oversees the rearing process. With his family-run farm and hands-on approach, he guarantees a meat quality that is unmatched – thanks to its rich, buttery-nutty flavour.
