Señorio de Montanera Lomo de Bellota 100% Ibérico

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Lomo de Bellota from Señorio de Montanera stands as a paragon of Spanish charcuterie, revered among gastronomes for its remarkable flavor profile - a complex symphony of aromas and textures. Raised in the idyllic dehesas of Extremadura, each purebred Iberian pig is nourished by a diet suffused with acorns, infusing the meat with a distinctive nuttiness and earthy depth. This particular lomo, a delicacy fashioned from the loin, boasts a marbled appearance that hints at the tender juiciness found upon the first bite. Artisanal curing processes bestow it with a melt-in-the-mouth quality, as each slice conveys the rich tapestry of savory complexities that the region’s ecosystem imparts. By embracing traditional production techniques, Se\u00f1orio de Montanera ensures that the sensory characteristics - from the rich, multilayered aroma to the pronounced acorn aftertaste - resonate with authenticity and speak to its protected designation of origin.

Pairings & Suggestions

• Cheese Pairings: Perfect harmony with aged Manchego or rich, nutty cheeses
