LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BRAND
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BRAND
From Extremadura, Spain At Montaraz, we have been guardians since 1890—across five generations—of a unique and 100% natural process, free from additives and preservatives. Thanks to our method, which involves only sea salt and a slow, controlled curing process in our natural drying sheds, we achieve a sublime ham with an intense aroma and unparalleled flavor. Each Montaraz product originates from the finest specimens of Iberian pigs raised in the Extremadura dehesa. Half of our hams and shoulders are cured in Salamanca, while the other half undergoes the process in Olivenza. This results in two distinct 'types' of Montaraz. The milder climate of Salamanca yields hams and shoulders with a delicate flavor profile. In Extremadura, with its higher temperatures, the final product exhibits a more intense flavor. However, both locations produce unique pieces, 100% natural, with only two ingredients added to the meat: salt and time. There is no room for any nitrites, nitrates, or allergens in our products.
