The Presunto Grande Escolha from Casa do Porco Preto is a premium Portuguese ham crafted from the hind legs of acorn-fed black pigs. Each piece undergoes a natural curing process lasting between 33 and 36 months, resulting in an intense, persistent aroma.
Casa do Porco Preto is a renowned Portuguese producer specializing in Presunto de Barrancos DOP, a dry-cured ham made from free-range Alentejano black pigs. Located in the Alentejo region, the company emphasizes sustainable farming practices, allowing pigs to roam freely and feed on acorns, which enhances the flavor of the meat.
Their presunto is aged for extended periods, often over 24 to 36 months, resulting in an intense, nutty, and melt-in-the-mouth flavor. Casa do Porco Preto has received numerous accolades for its dedication to artisanal craftsmanship and adherence to traditional curing methods.
