It takes a lot of acorns to grow a pig! Alberto Solis has a passion for Iberico pork

Originally from Spain, Alberto Solis developed his love for food and respect for high quality ingredients from his summers spent in Andalucia, a region known for Iberico. When Alberto came to the U.S., he followed his passion into the specialty food business, introducing many Spanish products, including olive oil, cheeses, vinegars, tuna, and of course, jamon Iberico to U.S. consumers. Over his 30-year career, Alberto became more interested in local foods, and co-founded the successful KitchenTown in Silicon Valley. His knowledge of Iberico, and passion for quality, have inspired him to farm the coveted Iberico pig in Sonoma County, California. Drink in this episode with Alberto Solis as part of the Healdsburg Wine and Food Experience.
