The Extremaduran dehesa is a sustainable ecosystem unique 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, faithful to tradition and supported by advanced technology, maintains a quality cycle from the farms to the genetic selection of its pigs. The animals live free, feeding on fresh natural products and completing their life in montanera, where they consume between 12 and 15 kilos of acorns a day. They reach an ideal weight of 180 kilos, obtaining healthy meat rich in fatty acids and antioxidants.
In the middle of winter, the production of hams and shoulders begins, which can last up to five years. These black-sealed products meet the strict requirements of the Dehesa de Extremadura Designation of Origin. In this process, the hams are prepared with a V-shape, salted without preservatives and passed through controlled drying rooms for three months before being transferred to natural drying rooms. The artisanal technique of opening and closing windows allows for perfect drying, complemented by two years in natural cellars.
These are the 100% Iberian pork hams and shoulders from Ibéricos Montesano, raised on acorns and with the Dehesa de Extremadura Protected 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 carvers.
The artisans at Ibéricos Montesano also prepare with equal care loins, 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 Montesano, from 100% Iberian pork, raised on acorns and covered by the Dehesa de Extremadura DOP.
