Jamón de Bellota 100% Ibérico is a premium Iberian ham crafted from purebred Iberian pigs raised in the dehesa, where they roam freely and feed on acorns, grass, and natural resources. This unique diet, combined with traditional curing methods, gives the ham its exceptional marbling, tender texture, and rich, nutty flavor.
Embutidos Morato is a family-owned company based in Los Santos de Maimona, in the province of Badajoz, Spain, with a tradition spanning over 80 years in producing high-quality Iberian hams and sausages. Established in the early 20th century by Félix Morato in Cumbres Mayores, the company has passed down its knowledge and skills through generations, leading to the opening of its first family-owned ham facility in 1934.
Over the years, Embutidos Morato has continued to grow and modernize its production capabilities while maintaining a commitment to traditional methods and quality. The company specializes in the production of Iberian hams and sausages, including longaniza, chorizo, and salchichón, using meat from pigs raised in the Extremaduran dehesa.
