La Quercia Norfolk, IA

After years of working as a ranch hand and researching Agricultural Economics at UC Berkeley, Kathy Eckhouse joined forces with her husband Herb, an amateur charcutier who was inspired by a trip to Parma, Italy. Together, the couple created La Quercia, providing premium American prosciutto to top chefs nationwide.

La Quercia's Commitment

“We knew we couldn’t be the biggest or most efficient producer,” says Herb Eckhouse, “so we set out to be the best.” With that mantra, La Quercia committed from the beginning to use only pork raised in non-confinement conditions with traditional husbandry practices. Pigs had to have access to open pastures, places to root with deep bedding, and areas where they could socialize with each other. Moreover, they would not be given any non-therapeutic antibiotics. We are thrilled to have La Quercia’s cured meat products, which respect the life and potential of the animal.
