MONTE DORADO
In a privileged corner of southern Spain, where the meadows stretch like infinite cloaks and the sun caresses the ancient holm oaks, Monte Dorado is born. It is not a factory. It is not an industry. It is a place where Iberian ham is respected as what it is: a living work of art, created slowly by the land, the animal, the time… and man.
Monte Dorado is not just another brand. It is a philosophy. A commitment to purity, to authenticity, to the eternal.
OUR ESSENCE: ORIGIN, TRUTH AND LEGACY
From day one, at Monte Dorado we knew that we did not want to make ham like the others. We wanted to return to the origin. To noble breeding, to absolute respect for the animal, to long curing processes, to delicate cutting, to the flavor that excites.
We work with Iberian breed pigs—many of them 100% pure—raised in full or semi-freedom, in a natural environment that promotes well-being, health and the development of exceptional meat. Fed with acorns, natural pastures or selected feeds, our animals are the first link in a chain that takes care of every detail.
OUR HAMS AND SHOULDER HAMS WITHOUT STANDARD
OUR SERRANOS, THE ONES OF A LIFETIME
A cut. An emotion. A difference.
Opening a Monte Dorado ham is much more than opening a cured piece: it is opening a door to emotion. Each slice, cut with care, releases a universe of aromas, textures and flavors that cannot be explained with words. Only with the silence of those who close their eyes and let themselves be carried away.
In an increasingly fast, artificial and superficial world, Monte Dorado is an invitation to stop, savor and remember what really matters: authenticity.

The art of curing as it was done before
At Monte Dorado, ham is not produced: it is raised, cared for and waited for. In our natural cellars, the pieces rest for up to 48 months, absorbing the soul of the south: its climate, its dry air, its silence.
Our master ham makers do not work with clocks, but with experience. They do not seek volume, but perfection. Each ham and each shoulder ham is different, and requires its own rhythm, its own attention. And only when it reaches the optimum point, is it released to the world.
Because in Monte Dorado, nothing is forced and nothing is improvised. Everything is done with intention, with soul, with purpose.
We do not understand luxury without ethics. Therefore, at Monte Dorado we are committed to a production model that respects the environment, promotes rural employment and defends honest and local food.
We collaborate with local farmers, keep the economy of our environment alive and work under principles of real sustainability, not just in appearance. Because there is no excellence without conscience.
Explore our store, learn about our history, and above all, let yourself be carried away by the flavor. Because in Monte Dorado, we do not make products. We make legacy.
