Chorizo 100% Ibérico De Bellota Monte Dorado
Price range: 17,00€ through 32,00€
The Chorizo 100% Ibérico de Bellota Monte Dorado is a jewel of traditional charcuterie made with the most noble lean meats of the 100% Iberian pig. Selected meat from animals raised in freedom and fed with acorns, spiced with La Vera paprika, garlic, and sea salt, and stuffed in the traditional way in natural casings.
Its texture is mellow and smooth, with a perfect blend of meat and infiltrated fat that gives it shine and juiciness. When cut, it has an intense red-orange color, interspersed with ivory-white fat that melts on contact with the warmth of the hand.
On the nose, it is an explosion of aromas: natural smoke, the sweetness of paprika, spicy notes, hints of scrubland… everything evokes the countryside and artisanal curing cellars. On the palate, the experience is complete: meaty, tasty, slightly spicy, and well-rounded, with an admirable balance between power and elegance.
It is a chorizo that is not only eaten, but also contemplated and enjoyed. Ideal to taste on its own, with good sourdough bread, or accompanied by a red wine with character.
Nothing is rushed at Monte Dorado. The hams are cured in natural drying sheds for between 18 and 48 months, depending on their category, morphology, and character. The temperature, humidity, and silence work in harmony with the experience of our master ham makers. There is no rush, because haste is not part of authenticity.
During those months, the ham slowly transforms. The fat melts, the meat settles, the aromas are refined. It is an intimate, ancestral process, where time is the true secret ingredient.
