It is presented with a stand for ease of carving, with an approximate weight of 7.5kg, suitable for foodservice and specialty retail.

Detailed Information

This jamón ibérico de bellota is sourced from Iberian pigs raised in the dehesa ecosystem, where they feed naturally on acorns during the montanera season. The extended curing period of 36 months allows for gradual dehydration and flavor concentration, resulting in a complex and well-balanced profile.

The texture is firm yet supple, with fine marbling that melts at room temperature. Flavor notes are rich and savory with pronounced nutty undertones, low saltiness, and a long, persistent finish. The deep red color and glossy fat contribute to its visual appeal when hand-carved into thin slices.
