Señorío de Montanera is a Spanish producer specializing in 100% Ibérico pork products, with a strong focus on jamón ibérico de bellota from the Extremadura region. The company operates under the DOP Dehesa de Extremadura designation, which ensures strict control over breed purity, feeding, and curing standards.

Its pigs are raised free-range in the dehesa, a unique ecosystem of oak woodlands where they roam extensively and feed on acorns during the montanera season. This acorn-based diet contributes to a high level of oleic acid and gives the meat its distinctive nutty aroma, subtle sweetness, and deep flavor complexity.

The hams undergo traditional salting and slow natural curing, often for more than 36 months, allowing aromas and texture to develop gradually. The result is a finely marbled product with fat that melts at room temperature and delivers a long, balanced finish on the palate.

Beyond jamón, the range includes paleta ibérica, lomo, chorizo, and salchichón, all made exclusively from purebred Ibérico pigs. The company places strong emphasis on preserving the native breed and maintaining the sustainability of the dehesa landscape, which is essential for regional biodiversity.

It also produces organic lines without artificial additives, highlighting the integrity of raw materials and traditional craftsmanship. Señorío de Montanera is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers in the premium Ibérico segment, combining strict origin standards, extensive farming, and long curing times to define its quality profile.
