The whole loin is folded in half, coated with lard and cured. Señorío 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.

Richly fatty cured pork belly. Hint of spice from pimentón. For streaky bacon with attitude. Freshly sliced in our Balham Deli. León paprika-rubbed rubbed smoked streak bacon  has the perfect balance of lean and fat and is marinated in pimentón to give a spicy heat to the rind. It adds a deep, salty smokiness to any dish or gourmet sandwich. In Spain, Panceta is also often referred to as bacon. Selection of quality raw ingredients is key. The cured belly pork is cut and then smoked over oak. Panceta is wonderfully versatile and adds flavour to the other ingredients it is combined with. In traditional slow-cook Spanish dishes such as Cocidos, often just a little is added for depth of flavour.

This product has been awarded with 1 star in the Great Taste Awards 2024. The judges' comments were: "Deep, rich, attractive colour on these very lean thin slices. Very subtle smoky overtone on rich, sweet tasting beef which is so tender it melts on the tongue.
