All pigs, when approaching the end of their life, spend their last months through a fattening process that is known as 'montanera'. During all that time the pigs roam freely through the pasture, eating and eating acorns and pastures. According to Royal Decree 4/2014, the montanera stage will be between October 1 and December 15.
Not all hams may be bellota, because this Royal Decree indicates that for a ham to be ibérico of bellota, it must be at least 60 days consuming acorns and pastures in the pastures.
It is also worth mentioning that throughout the montanera process, the pigs travel many kilometers in search of food and among the fibers of their meats a large infiltration of fat is generated in their meats that will give the final product that flavor that only Iberian hams from bellota provide.
During this time in which the importance of pig feeding is key to getting the pig fattening and thus achieving the minimum weight to be called Iberian bellota.
