Iberico ham Bellota Bone-in (ACORN fed) – Full leg 7-10 kg

Aging: 48 months

The hefty Iberico pigs, recognised for their black hooves (pata negra), have a unique gene that allows them to grow meat that is of a richer and sweeter quality. In Zafra in the region of Extremadura, pigs are freely grazed, which helps maintain the balance of the ecosystem in the region. Their diet consists of around 9 kilograms of acorns daily, and they are able to put on 90 kilograms in a short span of three months, with their final weight averaging 180 kilograms. After consistently being overseen during the traditional curing and salting process, the end product is a ham that is delightfully oily, sweet, and unlike any other. This exceptional ham is taken from the hind leg and is provided with the bone, allowing for a deeply satisfying indulgent flavor.

About the product

$19.78/100 gr

Gently tender and bursting with the scents of sunlit grazing, La Prudencia Jamón Ibérico Bellota is a product of the 100 % acorn-fed black Ibérico pigs. Each leg is meticulously cleaned and salted, then left to cure for as long as 52 months in traditional drying and cellar systems.

Although this extraordinary ham shines most when enjoyed by itself, it also beautifully complements the simplest of dishes—such as bread with tomato and olive oil or the classic Bocadillo de Jamón y Queso.

Iberico ham from Spain is widely known for its exquisite taste and is arguably one of the finest treasures of cuisine. Since 1910, La Prudencia has been crafted Serrano Iberico hams using modern and traditional methods and hams are aged in the pristine mountain ranges of the Spanish sierra. Every ham is exceptional in taste and incomparable to others.
