| | | EUSKAL XERRIA | | Set up in 1991 and based in the Aldudes Valley, this group of over 60 farmers, producers and charcutiers has as its aim the protection and development of the Basque Pig breed. It counts many diverse roles, including : Safeguarding of the Basque Pig as a pure-breed Avoiding potential breeding problems such as consanguinity Promotion of local products Ensuring a continued local environmental balance
In 2001, the partners applied to be recognised as an AOC (Appellation d’origine Contrôlée) for Basque Pork. The AOC will not only safeguard the strict regulations that are already in place, but it will also provide a legal protection of the breed, the name and the quality of the produce. | |  | | | COMPANY HISTORY | BASQUE PIG | RESPECT | RANGE OF PRODUCTS |
