Montesano 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra Ham

A fine Iberian ham from south-west Spain

The 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra Montesano ham embodies the full richness of Iberian tradition. Sourced from pure-bred Iberian pigs reared in the open in the dehesas of the Badajoz region, it benefits from an exceptional natural environment.

Extensive farming

The pigs roam freely in vast natural areas, comprising meadows and oak forests. This free-range rearing contributes to the quality of the meat and the development of its characteristic texture, which is both firm and melt-in-the-mouth.

An exceptional diet

During the montanera, the pigs feed on large quantities of acorns as well as other natural resources. This diet gives the ham a remarkably rich flavour and a particularly succulent texture.

A long curing process

The hams are cured for over four years in natural drying rooms. This curing period allows complex flavours to develop and creates great depth on the palate.

The Montesano signature

Montesano stands out for its complete control over production and its traditional expertise. Each ham is crafted with precision to ensure exceptional consistency and quality.

A taste experience

This Iberian ham is characterised by a melt-in-the-mouth texture, a glossy fat and complex flavours with notes of dried fruit and terroir. It offers a refined tasting experience, ideal for connoisseurs of acorn-fed Iberian ham.
