In this case, we are going to talk about original gifts and Iberian products from Spain, a good option if the lucky person is a lover of Iberian pork products such as ham, cured meats or pork meat.
In the Spanish gastronomy we have a great variety of Iberian products with very diverse flavors and nuances. Spain is the country par excellence of Iberian products, the most recognized worldwide. Let's find out what these products are and how to get our hands on them.
Iberian ham is unique in the world, it comes from the Iberian pig, unique and exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula. Its most outstanding feature is its genetic capacity to infiltrate fat into the muscle. This gives it a unique and intense flavor to this type of ham. It is made from the hind limbs, cured in salt and dried in natural cellars by expert ham makers who follow a long tradition passed down from generation to generation. The long curing time and the meticulousness with which it is treated during the process make Iberian ham a highly prized commodity and one of the most original and high quality gastronomic gifts available. Discover the types of Iberian ham in our online store, among which are: el jamón de campo ibérico y el Jamón de Bellota Iberico Premium. Choose which of the two best suits your gift according to their qualities and price.

At Enrique Tomás we bring together three of the most outstanding products from Iberian pigs to enjoy a unique gastronomic journey. The loin, the chorizo and the salchichón are our star sausages, elaborated taking care of the quality in each stage of the process so that you can enjoy the best flavor. All of them are elaborated with care and with the best raw material from the different places of elaboration of the Iberian Peninsula.
These Iberian cured meats come from the Iberian pig and, in the same way as the ham leg, what makes them special is the unique characteristic of this breed of pig: the ability to infiltrate the fat into the muscle. This is what makes the meat of this sausage rich, tasty and very unique. Enjoying a good sausage is a culinary pleasure. At Enrique Tomás you can buy them in whole pieces or sliced and vacuum-sealed.
Did you know that absolutely everything can be obtained from pork? And of course, its meat is another of the delights that this animal provides us with. Being Iberian pork, this meat is extremely juicy and tender, incomparable to any other meat on the market. What kind of Iberian meat can we find in Enrique Tomás? The best parts of the Iberian pig are the ribs, the bacon, the loin, the sirloin, the prey, the legs - from which hams are made - and the feather.
We highlight the pork tenderloin as one of the leanest and most tender pieces of pork, and once again, because it is Iberian meat, it will be even juicier due to the extra fat infiltration. It is an elongated and rounded piece from the upper rear part of the animal. Because of its tender and juicy texture, it can be cooked in many ways, baked whole or in medallions, stewed, grilled or grilled.
The boneless shoulder steak called “Presa”, in turn, is a part that is next to the shoulder, it is the upper and front part of the loin. It is rounded and it is recommended to cut it in slices. It has a lot of intermuscular fat, which is why it is so juicy and tasty. Ideally, it should be grilled or grilled, marinated or natural with spices to taste. The simpler the better, the better to appreciate the nuances of the meat.
The boneless pork upper shoulder called “Secreto” (Secret) is one of the most gourmet meats of the Iberian pig, it is a very juicy meat because of the marbling of the meat and because it comes from an area close to the shoulders of the animal, in what we could call the armpit. Unlike the “presa”, it is a very flat and thin part, so it is recommended not to cut it before cooking.
The pork end loin, the so called “pluma” (feather) is just before the loin and it is also an area of the pig with a lot of flavor.
