What does it mean for the Ham to have 2 Montaneras

Not everyone can boast of Hams with double montanera.

Some of our pigs reach double the age of the rest of the 100% Iberian pigs, which is why they spend double the time in montanera, 2 montaneras, twice as much acorn as a normal ham.. Can you imagine a 200% Acorn-fed Ham? Well, we have it for you.

For just a little more, enjoy double the quality.

Does my ham have a lot of fat

100% Iberian Acorn-fed Ham always has a layer of external fat (yellow fat) higher than the rest of Iberian hams. Thanks to this layer, the ham can withstand all the months necessary for proper curing.

Total utilization of the ham can vary between 38% and 44%.

This means that not all pieces are the same and it can vary up to half a kg of meat up or down in an 8kg ham and it is normal to have about 3.2kg of meat left in an 8kg ham once we have removed the bone and external fat.

Usually, the larger the ham, the higher % of meat it will have.

However, if you believe that the performance of your ham is clearly below these percentages, do not hesitate to contact us
