The prestigious Black Label is granted by the Spanish government for the products made only from 100% Iberico de Bellota pork. The annual tradition of making this world renowned charcuterie starts in natural oak forests where ripe acorns (bellotas) fall from the trees each autumn. Purebread Iberian pigs freely roam the oak groves, feasting exclusively on acorns and natural forage to gain as much as 140 lbs in the 4-month period known as the Montanera. The rich acorn diet results in superior products with abundant marbling and a nutty, sweet flavor profile.
D'artagnan's 4th-generation artisan ham producers, or maestros jamoneros, cure paletas (shoulders) using only seas salt in the fresh, clean air of the Guadarrama Mountains. Nothing else is added so the legendary flavor and melt-in-your mouth tenderness of 100% Iberico de Bellota shines thru.
