/wp:heading wp:paragraphThe rich pastures of Extremadura, 100% Iberian pigs, advanced R&D&I and a leisurely five-year curing process make Montesano Extremadura's 100% Iberian acorn-fed hams unique, delicate and refined pieces that are not only at the top in Spain, but also in the world, present in more than 40 countries.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe history of Grupo Montesano begins with its founder, Martín García Garzón , a native of Salamanca living in the Canary Islands who in 1965 took the first steps in the creation of an emblematic company in the meat sector, heir to a strong family tradition that has its roots in his land of origin, Fuente de San Esteban (Salamanca), and which today extends throughout the world, in its third generation, thanks to the successor taken by his three children: Jaime, Carmen and Raúl .
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe group expanded in 1996 with the acquisition of a 100% Iberian farm in Jerez de los Caballeros, Badajoz : Montesano Extremadura was born, a modern farm with more than 16,000 hectares of land for raising the animals in freedom and caring for them for up to two montaneras.
