50% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham – Premium ‘Bellota’ Quality (9–10kg)
Details
The Perfect Harmony of Flavour and Texture: Discover the rich, nuanced taste of the Spanish Dehesa with our 50% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham. This selection comes from pigs raised in total freedom, feeding on acorns (bellotas) during the mast-feeding season. The result is a ham that combines the intense aroma of the Iberian breed with a beautiful marbling of fat, making every slice exceptionally juicy and melt-in-the-mouth.
Why This 50% Iberian Selection Stands Out?:
-
Acorn-Fed Richness: Despite the breed percentage, this is a true Bellota ham. The diet of acorns provides those essential oleic acids that make the fat healthy and full of nutty flavour.
-
Succulent Texture: The 50% crossbreed often results in a more consistent marbling throughout the meat, offering a smooth, buttery experience that is incredibly popular among gourmet enthusiasts.
-
Artisanal Curing: Each leg is slowly aged for over 36 months in natural cellars, allowing the flavours to concentrate and the salt to balance perfectly.
Tasting Notes:
-
Visual: Vibrant red meat with a brilliant, pearly-white marbling.
-
Aroma: Sweet and nutty, with subtle hints of wild herbs.
-
Palate: Mild yet complex. It offers a delicate sweetness and a silky texture that coats the palate without being overwhelming.
Serving Suggestion: To truly appreciate the "Bellota" quality, always slice it thinly and serve at room temperature. It is the perfect companion for a glass of crisp white wine, a dry Sherry (Manzanilla), or alongside our Picual EVOO and artisanal bread.
