The 50% Cebo de Campo Iberian Ham is a type of ham that is characterized by several particularities related to the breed of pig, its diet and its breeding. Here I detail each of these aspects:

The breed of pig:

50% Iberian: This indicates that the pig from which the ham comes is 50% Iberian. That is, one of the parents (usually the mother) is 100% Iberian, while the other (usually the father) is of a different breed, usually the white pig.

Food :

Field grain:

The pigs destined for this type of ham are fed with natural feed (cereals and legumes) and have access to the countryside where they can supplement their diet with natural resources such as grasses, roots and, in some cases, acorns.

Breeding:

At liberty:

These pigs are raised in semi-freedom, that is, they have access to the open air and can move around in enclosed spaces. They are distinguished from fattening pigs, which are raised in intensive conditions (farms), and acorn-fed pigs, which are raised in dehesas and fed mainly on acorns during the "montanera" (fattening period).
