Let yourself be surprised by the quality of this Iberian acorn-fed ham!
Iberian acorn-fed ham is one of the most appreciated products in Spanish cuisine. It is a ham from Iberian pigs fed on acorns during the montanera, which is the period when the animals freely roam the meadows in search of this fruit. Iberian acorn-fed ham has an intense flavor, juicy texture, and unmistakable aroma.
To fully enjoy this delicacy, it is ideal to consume it hand-carved, as this achieves a thin and uniform slice that melts in the palate. Hand-carving requires skill and experience, and is done following the contour of the ham bone. The bone adds flavor and firmness to the ham, and can be used to make broths or stews.
The approximate weight of a whole Iberian acorn-fed ham is around 7 kilograms, but it is important to consider that after cleaning and carving, the usable part accounts for about 60 to 70% of the total weight. Cleaning involves removing the rind and excess outer fat, which can be saved for other culinary uses. Carving is done by areas: the thigh, the counter-thigh, the tip, and the hock. Each area has a different yield and flavor, with the thigh being the juiciest and the tip being the most flavorful.
