Iberico Ham

Iberico ham, known as Jamón Ibérico, is a premium cured ham from Spain, made from the Iberian pig. These pigs are raised in extensive pastures, often feeding on acorns, which contributes to the ham's rich flavor and unique quality. The aging process can last from 24 months to several years, resulting in a tender, complex taste with a characteristic marbled fat. There are different grades of Iberico ham, with "Jamón Ibérico de Bellota" being the highest quality, sourced from pigs that roam freely and eat acorns. It's celebrated for its exquisite flavor and is a staple in Spanish cuisine.
