The Story
This rich and distinctive ham will create a lasting memory. Produced in Jabugo in southern Spain, this 100% Iberico bellota ham is cured for an astonishing 40-52 months. The regulatory minimum curing period is 24 months and this substantial increase, coupled with 120 days of acorn feed, makes for an intensely-flavoured and stunning ham. The lampiño pigs that the Juan Pedro Domecq family use in their production roam free for two years in the surrounding oak woods. The subsequent curing period follows traditional methods using an all-natural process, which is made possible by the ideal microclimate in the region. Put simply, this is possibly the best bellota ham you’ll ever try.
