Tradition and Technology
Furthermore, it comes from pure Iberian breed pigs raised in Spanish pastures, where, during the montanera period, the pigs have access to natural pastures and feed primarily on acorns, which contributes to the flavor and quality of the ham.
This type of ham then undergoes a long curing process, which can last between 24 and 36 months or more. During this time, the ham is slowly dried in natural cellars, allowing it to develop its complex flavor and unique texture.
The result is a 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham with an intense and delicious flavor, balanced sweet and savory notes, and a deep, tantalizing aroma that develops during the curing process.
