Weight 1kg – 1.2kg
At Señorio de Montanera, we have acquired a commitment to the gastronomic heritage of Extremadura. The acorn-fed Iberico Lard Coated loin (called Folded Loin or Iberico Lomo Doblado) is based on a traditional recipe from southern Extremadura. Given that its production is entirely handmade, this unique product had all but disappeared from our memory because of a lack of generational transmission.
It took artisanal know-how to recover and perfect this recipe through substantial research and development work, and the fruit of this labour sings sensory qualities capable of conquering any palate. The Señorio de Montanera Iberico Lomo Doblado (Iberico Lard Coated Loin) is made with an entire piece of acorn-fed 100% Iberian Loin, marinated in garlic and salt and covered with a very thin layer of acorn-fed Iberian lard. When stuffed, the piece is folded in half, thus earning its distinct “doblado” (folded) name. Once encased, the piece is tied with string, which plays an essential role during the curing process. It is thicker than other traditional Iberian loins and thus requires a curing period of over six months.
The Iberico Lomo Doblado (Iberico Lard Coated Loin) reaches an optimum point of maturity after over six months curing. The expert hands of a Butcher Master monitor the conditions of our pieces frequently and tie their strings manually.
The Señorio de Montanera Iberico Lomo Doblado has a flavour typical of the most exquisite gourmet food. It stands prominent for a juiciness difficult to describe, with a texture that melts upon contact with the palate, flooding the mouth with the purest flavours of the oak forest. Containing no paprika, its light seasoning accentuates its powerful acorn flavour similar to the aftertaste that the best Spanish Ham leaves in the mouth.
It is presented vacuum-packed with a gift box. The piece includes the black seal of the Iberian standard that identifies it as an acorn-fed 100% Iberico Lomo.
