The biodiversity of this unique ecosystem is its catalyst and Black Pig Alentejo also represents Alentejo culture through the creation of the pata negra in extensive regime, fully assembled in tune with native trees such as the cork and strawberry tree. The pata negra, the true master of the montado, serves as inspiration for the name of the Black Pig Alentejo concept in which there is a perfect symbiosis between animals, ecosystem and final product.

Jacinto Rodrigo – Apicultor

Jacinto Santos Rodrigo was born in Coruche in 1950. His grandfather and father had been beekeepers, so his contact with this activity started at a very young age.

About thirty years ago he surrendered to beekeeping and dedicated himself body and soul, initially in tenements that were later replaced by boxes. It even had 200 hives, mainly located in the Herdade da Agolada forest, with production intrinsically linked to the local climate and flora.

In periods of higher production, it exported to other European countries, focusing its offer on rosemary, eucalyptus and multifloral honey and pollen. In addition to resale, it also sells directly, in particular to individuals who make traditional honey cakes and to the general public, regularly participating in several fairs such as FICOR and Sabores do Toiro Bravo and other events. As a complement, his wife Maria Rosa produces candles in the most diverse forms, selling both of her products at the Coruche Municipal Market on Saturdays each month.
