| Description | Hand-salted Mangalica shoulder with sea salt, aged for at least 18 months in the cellars of Monte Nevado, located in the Segovia region |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The meat has intense red hues with a noticeable marbling due to the fat |
| Taste | Slightly fatty and smooth, it melts immediately in the mouth. It has a delicate and distinctive aroma with hints of dried fruit, hazelnuts, and subtle herbal notes. The salt is well-balanced, and the finish is excellent |
| Maturing | At least 22 months |
| Curiosity | The Mangalica pig, originally from Hungary and still raised there, is distinguished by its characteristic woolly coat and richly marbled meat. This fat infiltration gives the meat a unique tenderness and natural sweetness. The animals are raised freely and follow a diet based on grains and wild foods, helping to create a deep and complex flavor |
| Our selection | Monte Nevado follows quality standards based on animal welfare, the quality of nutrition, and environmental sustainability, which translates into raw materials of excellent quality, with meticulous care dedicated to the aging process |
| Suggestions | Perfect for tasting on its own or paired with toasted bread and tomato, perhaps alongside a structured red wine, such as a Ribera del Duero or a Rioja. For the best experience, we recommend slicing the product right after it comes out of the fridge; once sliced on the plate, it will quickly reach room temperature due to the characteristics of the fat |

The producer
Monte Nevado - Segovia - Castiglia Leòn - Spain
Why we chose them
Monte Nevado is a family owned and run company that has been in the production of Spanish Jamon for four generations. In 1898, in his efforts to
escape the Cuban war, Juan Olmos moved to Spain; he was unemployed and began to work as a butcher. Within few years he became the most
important producer of cured ham. After Juan the company was led by Vicente, the son, and then by his grandson Miguel.
Generation after generation the company has grown to become one of the best-known companies in Spain for the production of high quality Jamon
Serrano.
Monte Nevado is part of Consorcio Serrano, a private entity which guarantees the quality of the entire production chain, starting from the pigs
breeding to the maturing of the hams.
Today the company is led by Juan Vicente Olmos, whose history is strictly linked to the recovery of the Mangalica, a breed of pigs with thick hair and
a
meat very rich in fat, what contributes the most in the production of high quality Jamon. In the 90's Juan Vicente, Miguel's son, traveled in many
places in order to find new races of pigs to use in his production. In 1991, in Hungary, he discovered the Mangalica race. At that time there were
only
300 heads across the country. Today the breed is saved from extinction and there are over 30,000 animals raised in the Hungarian nature.
