Cork oaks have been grown since the Middle Ages in Portugal and Spain in open woodlands grazed by sheep and cattle. High-value ham is obtained from the Iberian pigs that thrive on the fallen acorns. No fertilisers, herbicides or irrigation are used. This traditional farming supports a remarkable abundance and variety of rare and endangered wildlife, including the black vulture, booted eagle, Bonelli’s eagle and short-toed eagle, which make giant nests in cork-trees and eats snakes.
