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.
