Description

Whole fresh capon, ready to cook. It is delivered eviscerated and vacuum-packed, and arrives chilled at your door.

Our chicks come from France and belong to the Label strain. From the moment they arrive, at four weeks old, we raise them the traditional way, at the slow growth rate natural to their breed, in the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema among olive, almond and carob trees, holm oaks, Portuguese oaks, wild asparagus, mandrake and wild capers. So, for as long as the law allows, our birds roam freely, feeding on insects such as grasshoppers, crickets and ants, and on all kinds of fruit, especially olives from the trees and shrubs mentioned above, supplemented with 100% natural feed available on demand.

The Label strain is known for the high quality of its meat, how easily it adapts to its surroundings, its good health and hardiness, its calm temperament and its modest appetite.

Our birds were hatched in July and caponised by hand at six weeks of age by our own trained staff. Every month our contracted veterinary service visits the farm to check that husbandry and growth are on track, testing the water, the feed, the ammonia levels in the barns and the cleanliness of all the facilities.

After more than four months the birds reach the ideal weight for sale, and you will be able to enjoy a delicacy at your table with the family.
