Directly translated, “dula” is the Spanish term for pasture. But in Spain, and as with any respectable terroir, it means so much more. Representing close to 4 million hectares across the Iberian Peninsula, overlapping with Spain and Portugal, a Dula or dehesa holds its origin from the Mediterranean forest ecosystem. A Dula hosts a unique co-existence of trees at high altitudes, which includes the notorious oak tree that produces the Bellota (acorn). This makes the region ideal for many herbaceous animals to live, especially our beloved “Ibérico” porks.
