Montesano Pata Negra 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder

A traditional Iberian shoulder ham

The 100% Iberian bellota Pata Negra Montesano shoulder is produced in south-western Spain, particularly in the Badajoz region. This area is renowned for its oak forests and for rearing Iberian pigs in optimal natural conditions.

Rearing in the great outdoors

The pigs roam freely in the dehesas, enjoying vast open spaces. This extensive rearing contributes to the quality of the meat and the development of its characteristic texture.

An exceptional diet

During the montanera, the animals feed exclusively on acorns and other natural foods. This diet gives the shoulder its rich aroma and distinctive nutty flavour.

A melt-in-the-mouth texture

Thanks to the 100% Iberian breed, the fat is finely marbled throughout the muscle. This characteristic gives the meat a particularly melt-in-the-mouth texture and a long-lasting flavour.

Natural curing

The shoulder is matured for between 24 and 28 months in traditional drying rooms. This process allows intense flavours and a beautiful complexity to develop.

A Montesano signature

Montesano stands out for its expertise and for overseeing the entire production process, guaranteeing a product of consistent quality and high standards.
