To be called "Jamon Iberico" it must be from black iberian pigs and raised in Portugal or Spain.
The quality of Jamon Iberico is determined by 2 factors: The feed and how long it is cured for.
This is the top category of Jamon Iberico – the finest available – and indicates a pure-bred Iberian pig which has been fed only on acorns during the montanero period (October to February). The pigs are raised outdoor and free eating all day long their acorns. Cured for 4 years .
Note: Open at-least 45 minutes before consumption, let it air and come to room temperature for maximum flavor.

HAPPY PIGS
Did you know one Pig can eat 16 lbs of Acorn in a SINGLE day? Now you do.
An oak tree can produce, on average, about 44 lbs of annual acorns, therefore to ensure sufficient food strict guidelines apply, and a minimum of 1 hectare per pig is required. The producers we work with offer two hectares of free pasture per animal to guarantee that they are happy.
