The secret ingredients of Montaraz

The Product

Same quality and two refinements

Each Montaraz product comes from the best Iberian pigs from the Dehesa Extremadura. Of these, half of the hams and shoulders are cured in Salamanca and the other half in Olivenza. Hence, there are two ‘types’ of Montaraz. The Salamanca climate, which is milder, produces fine, mild-tasting hams and shoulders. In Extremadura, with higher temperatures, a more intense final product is obtained. Both places produce unique, 100% natural pieces, with only two ingredients added to the meat: sea salt and time.
