We at La Tienda have been on a quest for the finest of all hams, Jamón Iberico, since we started our business. Like the Beluga caviar or Kobe beef, "Jamón Iberico" is the ultimate of its kind. Until now it has been unavailable in the U.S. Finally two years ago the first producer in Spain, Embutidos y Jamones Fermin, was approved by the U.S. Government to export Iberico products to the U.S. In December of 2007, the first hams were released for sale in the United States. The free-range, acorn fed hams are due to follow in July of 2008. Supply is extremely limited and we are flying over several shipments to cover demand this holiday season. We have a waiting list, though you must put up a deposit below to get on that list. Hams will be weighed to the ounce prior to shipment and your credit card will not be charged the final amount until the day it is shipped. All hams will be sent in a manner which will protect its quality: that may require 2 day air shipment, depending on the delivery area. You will be notified by email and telephone of the final amount prior to shipment.
