Pata Negra Ham "EL ELEGIDO" Guijuelo - Tradition and International Excellence

The Pata Negra Ham "El Elegido" by Ibéricos Montellano is a premium product crafted with meticulous care in Guijuelo, Salamanca. This 100% Iberian Bellota ham comes from pigs that are exclusively fed on acorns during the montanera, ensuring exceptional flavor, aroma, and texture.

With an extreme curing time of between 36 and 50 months, carried out in natural drying sheds, the ham develops a deep and complex flavor profile. Its international acclaim is backed by prestigious awards such as the Great Taste Awards in the UK, where it was awarded 3 Gold Stars, the highest rating in this competition. Additionally, it has been included in the Top 50 Foods list by the Guild of Fine Food, a distinction shared by only two hams worldwide, both of which are of Spanish origin.

Other recognitions include the Superior Taste Award in Brussels with 3 Gold Stars, the Golden Fork, and the Gold Medal at the IFFA in Frankfurt, the most important meat industry event. It has also been highlighted in the "Sección Fuera de Serie" of Expansión magazine as one of the Top 10 best hams in the world.

These awards and recognitions underscore the superior quality of the Pata Negra Ham "El Elegido", positioning it as one of the best Iberian hams available on the global market.
