Jamón Ibérico, from heritage breed black pigs native to the Spanish countryside, is cured for several years in mountain air that allow the natural temperature changes to work with the salt. The result is a rich, dark meat with a complex flavor. Bring to room temperature with a fine wine such as a Toro and savor the experience.
The last member of the threesome is the pièce de résistance, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota. This phenomenal ham comes from the same prized breed of black pigs as regular Ibérico ham with an important difference. The pigs are free to roam the 'dehesa' forests of Western Spain, feeding on a diet of natural acorns that imparts the ham with an incredibly unique, nutty flavor rich in healthy fat similar to that found in good olive oil.
Both Ibérico hams are expertly cured by the Embutidos y Jamones Fermín, with the Bellota grade ham dry cured between two and four years. (close)
