History and tradition of Señorío de Montanera

Señorío de Montanera was founded in 1992 through the union of a group of traditional livestock farmers from the Extremaduran dehesa with the aim of preserving the purity of the 100% acorn-fed Ibérico pig and producing products of the highest quality. True to its roots, the brand controls the entire process, from the free-range rearing of pigs in vast oak and cork oak dehesas to the slow curing in natural cellars. This philosophy, based on respect for tradition, sustainability and gastronomic excellence, has established Señorío de Montanera as an international benchmark for authentic acorn-fed Ibérico ham.
