100% Iberian acorn-fed folded cured pork loin, Señorío de Montanera
At Señorío de Montanera, they are deeply committed to the gastronomic heritage of Extremadura. Acorn-fed Iberian Doblado loin is based on a traditional recipe from southern Extremadura. Because it is made entirely by hand, this unique product had almost disappeared from memory due to a lack of generational transmission.
The recovery of this recipe has been an artisanal process, perfected through extensive research and development, with results that can be appreciated in sensory qualities capable of winning over any palate. Señorío de Montanera folded loin is made with a whole piece of 100% Iberian acorn-fed loin, marinated with garlic and salt, and coated with a very fine layer of 100% Iberian acorn-fed pork lard. When stuffed into its casing, the piece is folded in half, giving it its distinctive name, “doblado” or “folded”. Once cased, its outline is surrounded with cords that play an essential role in maturation. Because it is thicker than other traditional Iberian loins, it requires a curing period of more than six months.
More than six months of curing are needed for Lomo Doblado to reach its optimal point of maturation. The expert hands of a Master Charcutier frequently supervise the condition of the pieces and tie their cords by hand.
Señorío de Montanera folded loin has the unmistakable flavor of the finest gourmet products. It stands out for a juiciness that is hard to describe, with a texture that melts on the palate and floods the mouth with the purest flavors of the dehesa pastureland. As it contains no paprika, its light seasoning enhances its powerful acorn flavor, similar to the lingering finish left by the finest acorn-fed Iberian ham.

Tasting note: Smooth, unctuous texture. A very pronounced and persistent flavor, accompanied by a highly distinctive aroma full of nuances. The very nature of this piece, from an Iberian pig that has completed two acorn montanera seasons, gives it a high degree of fat infiltration and that unique, unmistakable marbling.
It has an exquisite marinade perfected over generations with natural spices and an extraordinary, intense Pimentón de la Vera: savory, with a smoky touch thanks to the paprika and the curing process. The acorn diet of the pig is clearly noticeable. During the careful airing process, the loin develops its firmness, soft reddish color, characteristic aroma, juiciness and delicate flavor.
Pairing: At Made in Spain Gourmet, we recommend pairing it with Verdejo wines such as Menade or Curioso, and premium cavas. Fruity wines also work beautifully, as do oloroso wines such as those from Lustau. Always serve it with sourdough bread or crackers, and a little extra virgin olive oil drizzled over the bread or crackers; it is delicious.
Remember that it should be opened and left to rest on a plate or slate for about 15 minutes so it reaches room temperature. This way, all the notes of its fantastic flavor can be fully appreciated in the mouth.

Stages in the production of Iberian loin
Iberian loin goes through four production stages:
Marinating the loin: in this stage, the loin is seasoned and the necessary spices are added to give it its characteristic flavor.
Draining the loin: all the loins are left to drain for a period of time so that they retain only the necessary amount of ingredients.
Curing the loin: the curing process is key to producing a high-quality loin.
Drying the loin: during drying, the loin develops the characteristic texture and flavor nuances of this type of cured sausage. The highest-quality loin is dried naturally, taking advantage of the climatic conditions of certain areas of Spain. This translates into around 6 months of curing.
How we select Iberian loins at Made in Spain Gourmet
Only the best loins reach this process, which is a very important factor when producing a high-quality 100% Iberian acorn-fed loin.
They must be impeccable pieces even when fresh; after marinating, they are stuffed into natural casings and dried in a chamber with the warmth of holm oak wood. This is the perfect complement to their aroma and flavor, as it emphasizes their characteristic notes.
The 100% Iberian-breed pigs we offer at Made in Spain Gourmet have been fed exclusively on natural feed, natural pasture and acorns.
