Señorío de Montanera is a distinguished Spanish producer specializing in Jamón de Bellota 100% Ibérico, certified under the prestigious Denominación de Origen Protegida (D. O.P.) Dehesa de Extremadura. This certification ensures adherence to stringent quality standards and authentic production methods.


Their hams are crafted from purebred Iberian pigs, raised freely in the expansive dehesas of Extremadura. During the montanera season, these pigs forage on acorns and natural pastures, resulting in meat rich in oleic acid.
