100% Iberian Bellota Ham - Pata Negra, hand-sliced Montesano 100g

An exceptional 100% Iberian bellota ham

Montesano Pata Negra 100% Iberian Bellota ham comes from purebred Iberian pigs raised in freedom in the dehesas of Extremadura, in southwestern Spain. This natural environment, consisting of vast wooded pastures, provides a unique ecosystem for the extensive breeding of Iberian pigs and contributes directly to the exceptional quality of the meat.

Free-range farming and acorn-fed diet

During the montanera, an essential period in Iberian pig farming, the pigs feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from oak trees and other natural resources found in the pastures. This diet promotes the natural infiltration of fat into the meat and contributes to the characteristic aromatic richness of the great Iberian bellota hams.

The expertise of Montesano

Montesano is renowned for its expertise in producing Iberian ham. Thanks to a rigorous selection process and adherence to traditional production methods, the company offers hams of exceptional consistency and remarkable flavor.

Natural curing for 36 to 48 months

The hams are slowly cured in natural cellars in Extremadura for a period of between 36 and 48 months. This gradual maturation process develops a particularly melt-in-the-mouth texture and a rich, balanced aromatic palette with delicate notes of dried fruit.

Sliced by hand – 100 g portion

Presented in thin slices and 100-gram portions, this knife-cut ham is ideal for generous and refined tasting. It is recommended to take the ham out of the refrigerator a few minutes before serving so that it is at room temperature and its aromas are fully revealed.
