between 16 and 18 months.<br />
<br />
'''Geographical area'''<br />
<br />
Restricted to the subdistricts of Boticas,<br />
Chave and Montalegre in the district of Vila Real.<br />
<br />
'''Evidence'''<br />
<br />

published by the Municipal Council of Montalegre.<br />
<br />
'''Method of production'''<br />
<br />
The pigs used for Presunto de Barroso are between 16 and 18 months old, the male pigs being castrated at two months old. The [[ham]] is made from the leg which is dry [[salted]] and hand massaged, [[cured]] in [[salt]] for between two and four weeks and covered in [[olive oil]] seasoned with [[paprika]]. Finally it is [[smoked]] over oak wood for approximately two weeks.<br />

<br />
In view of the edaphological-climatic conditions of the<br />
region, the keeping of pigs is carried out extensively, their feed<br />
consisting of natural products which, together with the special<br />
techniques of preparation, give this ham particular and distinctive<br />
organoleptic characteristics. <br />
<br />
'''Gastronomy'''<br />
<br />
Presunto de Barroso [[Template:Indicação Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] must be stored in a cool place. The lower the temperature at which it is kept the better its fine qualities will be preserved, particularly if it is already cut or sliced. It is best kept at a temperature of no more than 10-12°C. Presunto de Barroso [[Template:Indicação Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] is sliced horizontally. It is an ideal accompaniment to an [[aperitif]] or eaten with a good [[melon]] as an excellent [[starter]].<br />
