If old advice contrasts cebo and recebo, do not treat it as today's category list. Ask which current designation the offered product actually carries.
Recebo belongs to an earlier classification. Do not automatically translate it into cebo de campo or acorn-fed.
What changed in the designations
The current Iberian standard groups feeding and management into bellota, cebo de campo and cebo. It prohibits recebo in labelling and advertising under its rules, with transitional provisions for older products. Explaining that history does not create a current buying category.
Why it is not simply cebo de campo
Replacing an old word with a new one is insufficient. Each current designation has feeding, management and control conditions. A historical reference does not prove that a piece now meets cebo de campo or bellota requirements.

Cebo does not specify one breed percentage. Check the Iberian designation and percentage alongside feeding category. Nor should recebo become an assumed flavour or health tier between other categories.
The selection follows the Jamones Paco Heredia catalogue. Editorial photographs illustrate formats; check the collection for current products and their details.
How to resolve a buying query
Ask for the full designation, current label, format and weight. If recebo appears only in old writing, find current product information before comparing prices. Compare matching formats without assigning undeclared categories to the catalogue.
