The basque pig breed, despite its long history and perfect adaptation to the local climate, could have gone extinct. However in the last twenty years, farmers attached to the heritage have revived it and given it a new life, combining a respectful farming and the promotion of a unique meat.

Kintoa pigs are raised in accordance to  thorough regulation. They are free to move day and night. They eat acorns, chestnuts, ferns and grasses along with a little cereal. They relax in the mud and are free to return to the shelter when they want. This slow and natural nutrition is what gives the unique flavour to the Kintoa's meat.

The Arrondoa farm is not only contributing to the reintroduction of traditional farming but also promotes durability through respect of the environment. After decades of systemic deforestation in the area, we planted trees to give to our pigs the natural and healthy food they deserve. The farm is therefore perfectly integrated into its environment.
