Resumo: Based on the breeding of Iberian hog in the Province of Salamanca, the relations between the territory and cultural heritage are analysed. Breeding conditions are well-adapted to the local ecosystem of pastureland with holm oaks, known as monte hueco or dehesa. Meat processing, for example the production of Iberian chorizo, is based on folk knowledge. The long historical past of pig rearing is embedded in a sustainable agro-sylvo-pastoral landscape and in a local culture related to the production of ham and sausages. This way of life is reflected in paintings, photographs, folklore and literary texts, which show the intense relationship of the people of Salamanca with their territory, landscape and traditions, as well as its asset as a touristic -gastronomic resource.
