This DOP Extremadura Ibérico de bellota ham is made from animals that have fattened on acorns for 10 -12 weeks on the local dehesa and have then been cured in Badajoz for more than 3 years. The end result is a ham with an intense savoury aroma, a complex flavour that combines sweet nuttiness with a salty depth and has a long, lingering aftertaste. Señorio de Montanera is a company, based in Badajoz, Extremadura, which was founded by a group of Ibérico pig breeders. Their aim was to create a business that would control each step of the process of producing Ibérico ham, from birth to the final product. They specialise in the production of DOP, acorn fed hams.
