Olmeda Orígenes Hand-cut Acorn-fed Iberian Ham - Packet 100 gr.

Masterpiece of Olmeda Orígenes

This exclusive product comes from top-quality Iberian pigs fed free-range in the vast pastures of Extremadura. A thin slice of this Iberian ham is a real treat for all the senses, with its incomparable flavour and extraordinary aroma.

These black Iberian pigs graze in the wild and their sole diet is based on the acorns that fall from the holm and cork oaks in the Mediterranean forests.

The daily consumption of 9 kg of acorns and herbs is responsible for the aromatic nutty flavours of our pigs. Iberian pigmeat is easily recognisable by its black hoof and fatty infiltrations, typical of this exclusive breed. From a minimum weight of 180 kg, the pigs are slaughtered and the ham undergoes a natural maturing process lasting between 36 and 48 months.

They are selected in their optimum state for consumption, with many pieces showing dots, a sign that these Iberian hams have been perfectly matured. They have beneficial health properties, thanks to their acorn-based diet. In fact, they have a high oleic acid content, which helps to reduce bad cholesterol levels.
