Embrace the authenticity of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota by Montaraz, a masterpiece of Spanish culinary tradition, now offered in a convenient boneless format. Revel in the rich, acorn-infused flavor and intense marbling of this natural delicacy, aged meticulously for over three years in the serene mountains of Spain, ready to slice and savor.
Experience the distinction of Montaraz's UNICO Ibérico de Bellota, crafted from 100% pure-breed, acorn-fed Ibérico pigs roaming freely in the historic ‘dehesa,’ dining on a natural bounty of grass, herbs, and acorns. Preserved solely with sea salt, this jamón offers a taste of pure excellence, free from additives.
‘Bellota’ signifies ‘acorn’, the secret behind the exquisite perfection of this ham. A select few Ibérico pigs are privileged to feast on these acorns during the precious ‘montanera’ season amidst the vast oak-dotted landscapes. This exceptional diet and exercise imbue the hams with beneficial, flavorful fats that melt away during their remarkable three-year curing journey, saturating the meat with flavor.
Montaraz, part of the prestigious DOP Extremadura, adheres to stringent quality checks, ensuring each ham meets the highest standards, from the pig’s lineage to the production process.
Steeped in heritage since the 1800s, Montaraz's fourth-generation family members continue to oversee the legacy of aging exceptional hams. To fully appreciate the nuanced flavors of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, serve in thin slices on a warm plate. Each boneless piece is halved and vacuum-sealed, ensuring freshness and ease of slicing.
