What is jamón and how is it produced?
A Jamón is the result of burying a pig leg in salt. Depending on the type of pig and its diet, the months of cry-curing vary considerably and its taste also varies. Due to the large amount of meat present in the same jamón, we find different flavours: the "maza" is the tenderest part, the "contramaza" the tastiest and when approaching the bone, we find a greater intensity.
Once the pig leg is ready, the first thing to do is to prepare it for salting. The " cook " makes a V-shaped cut on the pork rind and decides the amount of fat on the outside. The more fat it is, the less salt it absorbs and the sweeter it becomes. After the previous operation, the leg is buried in salt for about two weeks on average. If the cook decides to extend this period, the jamón will be tastier. From then on, depending on the type of jamón we make, the characteristics of the leg and the taste we want to obtain, the leg will be suspended in the dryer room until it is optimal for consumption.
Montanera
The pigs intended for the production of Jamón Ibérico Bellota fed on acorns, carry out the last part of the fattening process during Montanera: period from November, when it is cold in the mountains and the acorn falls naturally because it is ripe, the "breeders" let the pigs who want to let finish fattening naturally free on the farm. For 4 months, pigs eat all the acorns they can find, red fruits and lots of grass. They can walk a lot and drink lots of water. When they have increased by 50% the weight with which they entered the field, they will be ready to provide the wonderful Jamón Iberico Bellota fed on acorn.
In this book you will find Jamón of the types and flavours indicated. They are different taking into account the ham expert's techniques used in each case.
