THE FIVE FREEDOMS
1. Freedom from Hunger & Thirst
Le Québécois calves eat well! Their diet consists of natural foods that promote growth, strength, and good health. the mixture of corn, other healthy grains, milk, and unlimited fresh water promotes natural digestion and ruminant behavior.
2. Freedom from Discomfort
Le Québécois calves socialize with adequate space, move freely, and groom themselves in their multi-animal corrals. Le Québécois barns provide constant air circulation while maintaining a comfortable temperature. The barns utilize natural sunlight through large windows, a feature that promotes natural behavior and well-being.
3. Freedom from Pain, Injury, & Disease
Le Québécois farmers make stress-minimization their top priority by adhering to a strict production and welfare code. Le Québécois barns and feeding programs are meticulously designed to diminish stress and discomfort for the calves.
4. Freedom to Express Normal Behavior
The Le Québécois feeding program allows calves to naturally develop their rumen and express their natural chewing instinct. The multi-calf corrals allow for social interaction, and freedom of movement.
5. Freedom from Fear & Distress
The Le Québécois Veal program meets the handling and welfare requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ( FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). Those requirements provide the protocol for humane conduct that promotes the safety, health, and well-being of our calves at every point of the growth cycle.

Succulent
Pasture-raised in Spain on a diet of grain, grass, forage and acorns. Protected from the central mountainous region of the Iberian Peninsula, the privileged microclimate in this area with its cold, dry winters and its short, mild summers is an ideal setting for our hams to dry and mature perfectly. In this area, with its unbeatable microclimate, every day hundreds of artisans, who are sons and grandsons of artisans, slowly and masterfully create the Guijuelo Iberian Ham, which is a 'one-of-a-kind in the world.'
Hot legs are a desirable attribute for many-a species and well-bred swine are no exception. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse take fully aged legs of Prosciutto Americano and rub them down with a balanced blend of fennel, sea salt, and red chilies that deepens the meat's earthy sweetness. The heat is subtle, and deserves to be paired with one-of-a-kind cheeses, like Mahon Curado and Zimbro. These sheep milk cheeses have extra edge that creates some complexity on the palate, especially when given a boost by the meat's chili spice. It's an ideal tapas meat to include on a spread with marcona almonds, sheep cheeses, and grilled sardines. A combination of traditional craftsmanship and regional flavor, this addition to La Quercia's line of dry cured meats exemplifies their motto: 'American made, American inspired cured meats.' We say: keep those hot legs coming our way!
Fat, Extra Creamy, Sweet
