BEHIND THE PRODUCT: Montaraz is the only brand of Spanish ham available in the USA that is 100% natural and free of additives (no nitrates or preservatives). Pata Negra is the famous “black label” jamón by Montaraz. Don’t let the label fool you, Jamon Iberica Pata Negra earns that premium ‘black label’ title.
Ibérico pigs are one of the few lucky animals that are permitted the luxury of grazing on over two acres of beautiful pasture during its eighteen months of growth.
Select Ibérico pigs dine on a diet of Bellota (acorns) during the montanera season, a period between October and January, when the acorns naturally fall from the oak trees that populate the Dehesa, or “grazing” pastures. The pigs will nearly double their weight before the ham is then cleaned and cured for 4 years. Every step of the curing process is held to the same high quality that the Montaraz family has maintained since 1890.
