In the county of Osona, the pig has had a fundamental role in society. It has been much more than an animal; it has become an essential symbol representing country life in both the past and present, a guard of ancestral traditions and a treasure of the land. Historically, the pig has been a source of subsistence and a symbol of prosperity for the families of the county and farming community, a veritable larder throughout the year that provides food in the form of exquisite meat, cured meats and fats, that the farmworkers have treasured year after year. From an anthropological point of view, the pig has been closely linked to the region, and has been raised and sacrificed in accordance with ancestral traditions that still survive in the county. Their presence is so deeply rooted that they have gone beyond the material, and have become an animal representing the deep connection between man and the land. Today, the county of Osona is still a place where pig rearing is still a very important activity. Despite the controversies and challenges, the pig continues being an emblem of the Osona cultural identity, a symbol of connection to the lands, which reminds us that, just like good wine, the deepest traditions only improve with time.
