Types and Qualities of Ham

The first thing to understand is that Spanish ham comes in two types:

Non-Iberian Ham or Gran Reserva

The Gran Reserva or Gran Reserva ham comes from white pigs. The second important thing to know is that white pigs are raised all over the world. They are raised only on farms and are fed with feed. It's the simplest of all types of ham and also the cheapest.

Iberian Ham

Iberian ham comes from pigs of the Iberian breed, whose mother is always of 100% Iberian breed. And it's only raised on the Peninsula of the same name. It's the only animal in the world that has the ability to infiltrate fat into the muscle. This characteristic is what makes its ham so special and juicy.

In turn, Iberian ham comes in different qualities and flavors, depending on the animal's diet and the percentage of Iberian breed, which can be 50%, 75%, or 100%. And of course, prices will be related to the characteristics of the animal but especially to the curing process. An Iberian ham from pigs raised in confinement on a farm and cured for 24 months cannot cost the same as an acorn-fed Iberian ham that has been raised in freedom and cured for more than three years, with the care and patience of an expert.


The different types of Iberian hams are:

Cebo Iberian Ham

This ham comes from an Iberian pig fed in a farm with feed and cereals. Our cebo Iberian ham is cured for a minimum of 24 months if it's ham or 18 months if it's shoulder.

Acorn-Fed Iberian Ham

This ham comes from pigs of the Iberian breed, whose mother is 100% Iberian, and it has been fed in freedom with acorns and wild fruits for the last 4 months of its life, from November to March (Montanera).

100% Iberian Bellota Ham - Pata Negra

This ham comes from pigs of pure Iberian breed, meaning both parents are Iberian. It has also eaten acorns and wild fruits during the last 4 months of its life.

Our Flavors and Formats of Iberian Ham

As in any good dish, if the ingredients are very important, the hand of the chef who shapes and flavors them is even more so. The same applies to making ham. The Iberian pig is born the same all over the Spanish geography, but each producing region adds its special touch thanks to several elements: climate, diet, and especially the manufacturing and curing process implemented by the expert "cook," as we call them at Enrique Tomás. Based on these elements, we have a classification of flavors that we detail for you below.

Our Flavors

Mild

The mildest and most pleasant ham on the palate. It's the "jack of all trades" ham because it's so agreeable and elegant that everyone loves it. It's always a safe bet, especially for gifting!

Aromatic

A ham full of nuances and very aromatic both in the nose and on the palate. Perfect curing for the ham lover's palate.

Flavorful

The flavorful ham is the most recent of all. Its production is smaller than in other geographical areas. It's very deep and different. It's like an explosion of flavor that lingers in the mouth and memory.

Intense

The most international ham is the intense ham. Its flavor is unmistakable due to its robustness and persistence on the palate. For ham lovers with a demanding and robust palate.

Formats

The whole piece can be a ham (rear leg of the pig) or a shoulder (front leg of the animal). Available in all flavors and origins.
