Hams from 100% Iberian pigs raised in the Extremadura pastures, a unique sustainable ecosystem in Europe. One million hectares, where holm oaks, meadows and cork oaks are the dominant flora, and in terms of fauna, the Iberian pig is king. There, in Jerez de los Caballeros, Ibéricos Montesano is the reference in the production of hams, loins and sausages from 100% Iberian pork, raised on acorns and under the prestigious Dehesa de Extremadura Protected Designation of Origin.
Ibéricos Montesano remains faithful to tradition, relying on advanced technology to guarantee quality at all stages: from breeding farms to the genetic selection of Iberian pigs. The animals live in freedom and are fed exclusively on natural products, including acorns, during their last months of life, reaching a weight of 180 kilos.
In mid-winter, the preparation of these delicacies begins, a process that can last up to five years in the case of black-seal hams. These are prepared according to the criteria of master craftsmen: V-shaped, naturally salted and controlled drying for three months. Afterwards, they are placed in natural drying rooms for 36 months, where the climate is controlled by opening windows, and finally, they remain in the cellar for two years. This process allows us to obtain a heart-healthy product, rich in oleic acids and vitamin E.
These are the 100% Iberian pork hams and shoulders from Ibéricos Montesano, raised on acorns and with the Dehesa de Extremadura designation of origin. At the end, the tastings by the master ham maker will decide whether they are ready to be sold in pieces or sent to the boning room or cut with a knife by master cutters.
The artisans at Ibéricos Montesano also prepare with equal care loins, morcones, chorizos, salchichons and tenderloins from the most select lean meats of 100% Iberian pork raised on acorns for Ibéricos Montesano. At Ibéricos Montesano, faithful to tradition, to a perfect genetic selection, fresh pastures, acorns and water, mountain air and sensitivity, they work the miracle of these foods that are ambassadors of Spain and Extremadura throughout the world. Hams and shoulders, loins and tenderloins, chorizos, salchichons from Ibéricos Montesano, from 100% Iberian pork, raised on acorns and covered by the Dehesa de Extremadura DOP.
