Pure iberico jamon bellota Julián Martín Reserva

Description:

One of the most exquisite and international products of Spanish gastronomy. It comes from the lower extremities of 100% Iberian pigs -usually the breed is 75% Iberian- which roam freely in the meadows. There they eat acorns (bellotas in Spanish) and herbs. This, added to the fact that they are free range, contributes to the infiltration of fat into the muscles. This is the main reason why the taste of this ham is so delicious and succulent that a thin slice will almost melt in your mouth!

Besides, the weather conditions in the mountain range near Salamanca are responsible for the reduced salting period required to prepare this ham. It therefore has a lower salt content than hams produced in other areas of Spain.

This artisan delicacy, with a minimum curing period of 30 months, has been produced in the heart of Guijuelo by the third generation of the same family.

The ham comes wrapped in a cloth cover, inside a cardboard box. The ham stand shown in the picture is not included.
