100% Iberian Montesano Bellota ham – hand-sliced Pata Negra, 80g

Origin and terroir of Extremadura

Pata Negra Montesano 100% Iberian bellota ham comes from pure-bred Iberian pigs reared free-range in the dehesa landscapes of Extremadura. This region in south-western Spain is renowned for the quality of its Iberian produce and for its natural environment, which is particularly well-suited to rearing Iberian pigs.

Montanera and natural diet

During the montanera, Iberian pigs feed mainly on acorns and natural resources found in the pastures. This diet plays a vital role in the quality of the meat and promotes the marbling of fat that gives bellota Iberian ham its melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich flavour.

Montesano’s expertise

Montesano upholds traditional expertise in the production of Iberian ham. Thanks to a rigorous selection of cuts and meticulous production processes, the company offers hams renowned for their finesse and consistency.

Slow curing in natural cellars

After salting, the hams are slowly matured in natural cellars over a long period. For bellota hams, the maturing process generally lasts between 36 and 48 months. This gradual maturing allows a supple texture and great aromatic complexity to develop.
