BEHIND THE PRODUCT:

Each Montaraz Ibérico pig enjoys over two acres of natural forage during its eighteen-month growth, with those designated Bellota indulging in acorns during the montanera season from October to January. This acorn-rich diet nearly doubles the pig’s weight in the final three months. Afterward, the ham undergoes a meticulous four-year curing process, carefully monitored to guarantee exceptional quality. Passed down through four generations since 1890, the Montaraz family’s expert craftsmanship ensures a truly unforgettable ham, crafted with time-honored tradition and unmatched attention to detail.
