Bellota 100% Ibérico PDO dry ham 30 months with bone ±8kg SENORIO DE MONTANERA
011080
Sourced from purebred Ibérico pigs raised in total freedom in the dehesas of southwestern Extremadura, this 100% Ibérico Bellota dry-cured ham with PDO status is aged for a minimum of 30 months. During the montanera season, the pigs are fed exclusively on acorns (bellotas) and wild herbs, producing a marbled meat of remarkable aromatic depth. Cured on the bone in the natural cellars of Señorío de Montanera, this ham is crafted following the artisanal traditions of the Jabugo PDO. Its deep red flesh, glossy and marbled with melting fat, develops complex flavours of dried fruit, undergrowth, and hazelnut. Carefully selected by Le Delas, your trusted wholesaler at Rungis, this product embodies Iberian excellence in its most authentic expression. Culinary Uses To be hand-carved into very thin slices to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. This ham is best enjoyed on its own, as part of a tasting board, or as a refined finishing touch to gastronomic dishes: shavings over soft-boiled eggs, risottos, vegetable carpaccios or warm toasts. Storage and Serving Recommendations ► Store in a cool, dry place between 15 and 20 °C ► Once cut, cover the exposed area with cling film or a clean cloth and consume within 3 to 4 weeks ► For optimal slicing, use a proper ham stand and a long, flexible knife ► Serve at room temperature to allow full flavour release
“DEHESA DE EXTREMADURA” IBÉRICO PORK (PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN)
Producing the famous bellota Ibérico ham, Señorío de Montanera is a collective of pork farmers whose operations adhere to the standards of the PDO “dehesa de Extremadura” label. Hams carrying this label are among the finest in the world; their meat comes from purebred Ibérico pigs having fed on the bellota (acorns) found in the “dehesa” – the rocky plains planted with chestnut trees where the animals are allowed to graze freely. This diet ensures the pigs have thick, flavourful fat that is the hallmark of genuine Ibérico de Bellota ham. Using meat from these same animals, Señorío de Montanera also makes chorizo, lomo and paleta. In order to facilitate the needs of a modern kitchen, Señorío de Montanera distributes its products in a variety of formats, including whole, cubed and sliced.See all products in this range
