- Serrano, Iberico, and Iberico de Bellota
- The most comprehensive comparison!
- 12 oz total of Jamon slices
Spain enjoys the fortune of being the home of three excellent dry-cured hams - the famous Jamon Serrano and the excellent Jamon Iberico and the unrivaled Iberico de Bellota. All are salted and cured for an extended time. All are delightful additions to your table. Now you can compare the flavors in your own home! Jamon Serrano is made from normal pink pigs, and is usually cured for 12 to 18 months. It is ideal for many types of preparation - served at room temperature with cheese and olives, wrapped around fruits and preserved vegetables, or for adding flavor to cooked dishes.
Jamon Iberico is made from native black Iberico pigs. Its dark red meat and rich, complex flavor are best enjoyed at room temperature with a fine wine and not much else. We offer thin slices of this special Spanish ham in a 4oz pack.
The finest Iberico is Iberico de Bellota, which comes from an acorn finished Iberico pig. The word Bellota is the key, denoting the free-range, acorn fed Iberico pigs.
Each week a local company slices our Serrano hams and Iberico hams to ensure the thinnest, most delectable slices.
The Iberico ham and Iberico de Bellota ham are carefully cured by Embutidos y Jamones Fermín in the medieval mountain village of La Alberca, creating an intense, complex flavor.
Our Jamon Serrano is cured by Redondo Iglesias, a family owned company. These hams are cured for over a year, and are among the best available in the U.S. (close)
