A genuine 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra ham

The 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra Montesano ham is one of the great specialities of Spanish cuisine. Produced from pure-bred Iberian pigs and undergoing a long, natural curing process, it is distinguished by its rich aroma, marbling and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Available in individual 100 g packs, this ham is traditionally cut into thin slices, ideal for enjoying as tapas or with an aperitif.

100% Iberian pigs reared free-range

The pigs are free-range in the dehesas of Extremadura, a natural environment comprising vast pastures and oak trees.

During the montanera, they feed mainly on acorns, grasses and the natural resources available in these pastures. This diet, combined with their physical activity, promotes the marbling of fat throughout the meat and contributes to the flavour profile of Bellota ham.

Natural curing for 36 to 48 months

Montesano ham undergoes a natural curing process lasting between 36 and 48 months. During this lengthy period, the meat gradually develops its flavours and acquires all the complexity characteristic of fine Iberian hams.

The result is a ham with deep, balanced flavours, featuring delicate notes of dried fruit and a pleasant lingering finish.

This ham is presented in a traditional cut of thin slices, particularly well-suited to enjoying Pata Negra. This cut allows you to appreciate the natural marbling, texture and flavours of each piece.
