100% Ibérico Bellota Ham - Hand-Carved 100 g

The 100% Ibérico Bellota Ham, Hand-Carved, represents the highest category within Ibérico products. It comes from purebred Ibérico pigs, raised in dehesas (oak groves) and fed on acorns, natural pastures, and other natural resources during the "montanera" (acorn-feeding season).

Its slow curing process in a cellar allows for the development of a deep, elegant, and persistent flavor with nutty nuances, fine and aromatic fat, and a juicy texture that melts smoothly in the mouth. Being hand-carved by professionals, each slice better preserves the structure of the piece, respecting the balance between lean meat and fat.

The 100g sachet format is perfect for those who want to enjoy high-quality Ibérico bellota ham without having to carve the piece at home. Ideal for appetizers, celebrations, gourmet gifts, Ibérico platters, or special occasions where the product needs to be exceptional.

Professional hand-carving

Hand-carving allows for the preservation of the natural structure of the slice, achieving a more delicate texture and a more complete tasting experience. Each slice is cut to the appropriate thickness to enhance the aroma, juiciness, and the melting of the fat.

This format is designed for those seeking a more refined presentation and a more traditional experience, without needing a ham holder or a professional knife at home.

Acorn feeding and dehesa rearing

During the montanera, Ibérico pigs feed on acorns, natural pastures, and other resources typical of the dehesa. This diet is key to obtaining a more aromatic fat, a more elegant flavor, and a juicier texture.

The 100% Ibérico purebred and the acorn diet make this product stand out for its intensity, persistence, and complexity on the palate.

Traditional curing

This ham has undergone a slow and controlled curing process for a minimum of 48 months. The time in the cellar allows the ham to develop its characteristic aroma, concentrate its flavor, and achieve a balanced texture.

Once at its optimal point, it is hand-carved and vacuum-packed to preserve its properties until consumption.

Consumption recommendations

To enjoy it at its best, it is recommended to remove the sachet from the refrigerator a few minutes before consumption and let it temper at room temperature, approximately between 18 ºC and 20 ºC.

When the fat begins to look shiny, the ham releases its aromas better and the slices separate more easily.

Open just before serving.

The shelf life of the vacuum-packed product is 180 days, provided the indicated storage conditions are respected.
