  • JAMON IBERICO - Torremolinos
 

A cured ham produced only in Spain,JAMON IBERICO is at least 75% black Iberian pig ( cerdo negro).
The piglets are fattened on barley and maize for several weeks. Later the diet is strictly limited to acorns for the best quality Jamon Iberico.
CURING: The hams are salted and left to dry for two weeks, after which they are rinsed and left ot dry for another four to six weeks. The curing process then takes at least nine months.
It's no wonder that they are the most expensive hams in the world - but oh so delicious.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
