Jamón-Ham cubes

What are Iberian ham cubes?

Ham cubes are an exquisite product that can be enjoyed in many ways. When we have a whole piece of Jamón that we have made the most of and we have no more material left to slice, at Enrique Tomás we use boning tools to extract the ham that is closest to the bone, from the knuckle and shank area. This is how we obtain the shavings or the small cubes of Iberian ham/jamón ibérico. Our expert ham cutters make them by hand, in a traditional way, from the most cured and tasty parts of the ham.

Why buy Iberian ham cubes?

Iberian ham cubes are ideal for snacking on as an aperitif, as a complement to a starter or as an excellent accompaniment to sautéed or pureed vegetables, pasta dishes, stuffing and even vegetable stews. They bring an extraordinary flavour to any preparation. Include them in your recipes to give them a touch of originality and flavour.

The ultimate Iberian ham cubes are those made from 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham/ Jamón de Bellota 100% Ibérico, known as "pata negra". When we talk about Iberian ham/jamón ibérico, this sensation of pleasure on the palate increases because it comes from the Iberian pig, a wonderful animal whose main characteristic is its power to infiltrate fat into the muscle, among many others. This makes the flavour of this type of taco heavenly and very intense, and it becomes a real addiction when eaten on its own as an aperitif.

How to eat Iberian ham cubes “taquitos”?

On their own they are wonderful, you can enjoy them while you go for a walk or at the cinema as if they were the typical popcorn. You also have the option of using them to enhance the flavour of any simple recipe and make it original. Cubes of jamón are a common ingredient in Spanish gastronomy and fit in with many traditional dishes that may seem simple, such as stir-fries, vegetable purées or pasta dishes. The flavour and intensity provided by these ham cubes is unparalleled. Here are some ideas on how to enjoy the flavour of these Iberian “taquitos” in essence.
