The Art of Vela de Lomo

Señorío de Montanera Premium Vela de Lomo 100% Ibérico-Bellota embodies the pinnacle of Spanish charcuterie, crafted with meticulous care in the heart of Extremadura. This masterpiece of cured meats is more than just a culinary delight; it is a celebration of tradition, terroir, and craftsmanship, enveloped in the alluring character of Iberian gastronomy.

Ibérico Pigs: The Legacy of Purity and Flavor

Central to the allure of this exceptional product is the heritage of the Ibérico pig. Only 100% purebred Ibérico pigs are selected for this premium offering, animals renowned for their distinct marbling and rich, nuanced flavor profile. During the montanera season, these pigs roam freely within the dehesa woodlands, foraging on acorns and wild herbs. This acorn-induced diet is paramount in developing the succulent flavor and luscious fat marbling that define Ibérico products.

An Intricate Crafting Process

The journey to crafting Señorío de Montanera’s Vela de Lomo begins with the careful selection of the finest loins. Each loin is seasoned with salt and garlic, eschewing the use of paprika to let the natural flavors of the pork shine. For the traditional “doblado” method, the loin is folded, coated in Ibérico lard, and expertly tied before embarking on a slow curing process that can last several months. This method culminates in a rich, flavorful, and tender delicacy that is second to none.

A Sensory Journey

The sensory experience of the Vela de Lomo is unrivaled, beginning with its vibrant appearance—an enticing array of reds and marbling. The aroma rises in nutty, herbal waves, eloquent of the acorn pastures from which these pigs have grazed. Upon tasting, one is met with a rich, umami-laden explosion, interwoven with acorn sweetness and subtle herbal notes that take the palate on a sophisticated dance of flavors.

Culinary Excellence and Heritage

Esteemed culinary institutions and charcuterie lovers alike regard this product as a hallmark of Spanish gastronomy.
