- Acorn-fed, free-range pata negra
- Approx. Wt. 7.5 Kilos –16.5 lb bone-in whole ham
- Dry-cured in mountain air for 2-3 years
- From La Alberca in Western Spain
Like Beluga caviar or Kobe beef, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the one of the supreme luxuries of the meat world. These hams are made from a rare breed of pig found only in Spain, the black-footed Cerdo Ibérico, which is believed to descend from the prehistoric Mediterranean boar. These unusual pigs spend a majority of their lives freely roaming the Dehesa woodlands of Western Spain, eating a diet that consists primarily of acorns (bellota, in Spanish). This acorn-laden diet, in combination with its free-range lifestyle, results in a ham that is not only full of rich, nutty and ultimately distinctive flavor, but that also has a surprising number of health benefits. Jamón Ibérico de Bellota contains more antioxidants than other hams, as well as more oleic acid (the same "healthy fat" found in olive oil) than any other meat. (more info)

Jamón Ibérico de Bellota contains more antioxidants than other hams, as well as more oleic acid (the same "healthy fat" found in olive oil) than any other meat.The pig’s harmonious development of acorn-infused fat and muscle from its time in the Dehesa allows it to cure for as many as two years longer than traditional ham. During this time, the seasonal fluctuations cause chemical changes which create a unique marbling and flavor in the resulting ham coveted by both Spaniards and ham lovers around the world. Serve thin slices of this tender, ruby red ham at room temperature and it will literally melt in your mouth! Your traditional bone-in Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is a rare and exquisite product, perfect for a festive occasion or savoring slice by slice. We have selected Jamones with an average weight of approximately 7.5 kilos - an ideal size to enjoy at home with your family and friends! Each Jamón is vacuum packed for freshness and gift wrapped. -------- En La Tienda, nos hemos lanzado a la búsqueda del mejor de todos los jamones, el jamón ibérico, desde que abrimos el negocio. Como el caviar de Beluga o la carne de Kobe, el jamón ibérico es el rey de su especie. Los jamones ibéricos están veteados de ricas grasas doradas, rebosantes del sabor de su comida favorita, la bellota. Cortados en lonchas tan finas como el papel, tiene un rico sabor abellotado y una textura tierna. El jamón ibérico es el orgullo de España, y los españoles consumen la mayor parte de estos jamones en su propio país. (close) |
