The province of Badajoz, home of the Iberian pig

This shoulder is produced in the province of Badajoz, in the heart of southwestern Spain. This region is considered one of the native habitats of the Iberian pig. Its dehesa ecosystem, composed of vast oak forests and natural pastures, offers an ideal setting for traditional farming.

100% Iberian pigs raised in the open

The animals are of pure Iberian breed and roam freely in large areas certified for the raising of bellota Iberian pigs. This low stocking density contributes to the quality of the meat and the animals’ well-being.

An exclusively natural diet

During the montanera, the pigs feed exclusively on acorns, grasses, and roots. This exceptional diet promotes the marbling of fat into the muscles and gives the shoulder its characteristic rich flavor.

A completely natural curing process

The shoulder is cured for approximately 24 months in natural cellars. Maturation occurs solely through natural air circulation, without any artificial processes. This extended resting period allows for the development of a melt-in-your-mouth texture and complex aromas.

The official black band

Each piece bears a black band certifying its 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra status, a guarantee of authenticity and quality.

An exceptional tasting experience

This shoulder is distinguished by its glossy fat, supple texture, and deep aromas with notes of dried fruit. It is intended for discerning connoisseurs seeking a prestigious Iberian product.
