Pata Negra – 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham (100g) – 36 Months Natural Curing

The Pinnacle of Spanish Gastronomy. Experience the undisputed king of the Spanish Dehesa. Our Pata Negra is a 100% Ibérico de Bellota ham, sourced from pure-bred Iberian pigs that roam freely, feeding exclusively on acorns (bellotas) during the montanera season. With a patient, natural curing process of 36 months in the fresh mountain air, this ham develops a complexity of flavor that is simply unparalleled.

The "Pata Negra" Excellence:

• 100% Acorn-Fed (Bellota): The acorns provide the high levels of oleic acid that give the ham its healthy, heart-friendly fats and its signature nutty aroma.

• 36 Months of Patience: Three years of slow, natural aging allow the flavors to deepen and the fat to become perfectly translucent and melt-in-the-mouth.

• Masterfully Sourced: Selected by hand for its perfect balance of marbling and curing intensity.

Tasting Notes:

• Visual: Deep purplish-red lean meat with veins of pearly, translucent fat.

• Aroma: Intense, persistent, and sweet, with clear notes of toasted acorns and wild herbs.

• Palate: An explosion of "Umami". Its buttery texture melts instantly, releasing a complex symphony of sweet and savory notes with a long, elegant finish.

Serving Suggestion: To fully appreciate the nuances, place the vacuum-sealed pack under warm running water for 1 minute before opening, or let it rest at room temperature until the fat becomes transparent. Serve on a flat white plate alongside our Yeyé Pani Breadsticks.
