Acorn Fed 75% Ibérico Ham

Brindisa Acorn Fed 75% Ibérico Ham 50g is a finely sliced bellota style ham with exceptional depth, sweetness, and length of flavour. Made from pigs of 75% Ibérico breed that spend the final 10 to 12 weeks of their lives roaming the dehesa of Extremadura feeding on acorns, the meat develops a distinctive toffee like sweetness with savoury undertones and gentle fruitiness. The hams are then slowly cured in Guijuelo, Salamanca for between 30 and 36 months, allowing the flavour to deepen and the texture to soften. Hand carved by a master carver, each slice has a delicate structure that melts on the palate, leaving a long, complex finish.

Why is Guijuelo an important region for curing Ibérico ham?

Guijuelo has a cool, dry climate that is ideal for long curing, allowing the ham to mature slowly and develop complexity without losing balance or moisture.

What difference does hand carving make to the eating experience?

Hand carving produces thinner, more consistent slices that better showcase the fat distribution, improving both texture and flavour on the palate.

How does acorn feeding influence the flavour of the ham?

An acorn based diet contributes natural sweetness, nutty aromas, and a softer fat texture, which together create the lingering depth associated with high quality Ibérico ham.
