Do I like it with more or less fat?

  •  With a little more of fat: And therefore, more tender and mellow. It is suitable for those who take longer to consume or eat a ham.

suggestions choose ham format weight origin

 What weight should I choose for my ham?

 

Our advice is that is always better to choose a large ham or shoulder, since the ratio of meat and bone is greater. We try not to sell very small pieces because they can disappoint the customer.

Our recommendation is:

 

  • Shoulder hams best between 4.5-6Kg.

  • Hams best between 7-8kg.

How should I choose my ham origin? What are the differences between origins?

When it comes to choose a ham origin, you should know that all our products are selected among the best pieces of each origin. Yet there are always small differences between each ham processing areas. 

 

Here we provide some of the differences that exist between areas:

 

  • From Huelva and Extremadura. They present a more intense flavor and aroma due to their climate and curing process. Iberian products use to have a little more fat so they are very juicy.

  • From Salamanca. Its flavor is more smooth and fruity. They also tend to have less fat proportion.
