Handcarved Acorn-fed Iberian Ham (80g)

Handcarved Acorn-fed Iberian Ham (100%)

Discover the luxury of Spanish charcuterie with handcarved acorn-fed Iberian ham, available in an 80g pack of delicate, expertly sliced portions. Each slice is cut by hand to ensure the perfect balance of marbled fat and lean meat, resulting in a ham that melts in the mouth and offers an authentic, artisan taste experience.

This Iberian ham begins with carefully selected purebred Iberian pigs, free to roam in the oak forests of southwestern Spain. The pigs’ natural diet of acorns imparts unique nutty notes and a rich, creamy texture that define the ham’s exceptional quality. After traditional salt curing, the ham undergoes a long, natural air drying process—developing complex flavours with hints of herbs and a subtle sweetness that are hallmarks of Spain’s finest hams.

The handcarving process is an essential part of Spanish culture, preserving the proper thickness of each slice and enhancing the tasting experience. The result is a more tender, flavourful piece that releases its aroma and character with every bite. This level of craftsmanship not only showcases the texture and appearance but also makes each pack feel like an artisan delight brought straight to your table.

Handcarved acorn-fed iberian ham shines as the highlight of any tapas platter. Its rich, savoury flavour pairs perfectly with rustic bread, Manchego cheese, almonds, or fresh figs, making it ideal for entertaining or indulging in a special treat at home. For a simple and satisfying Spanish snack, drape the slices over toasted bread rubbed with ripe tomatoes and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy as an appetiser, with summer salads, or add to sandwiches for a flavour boost.

This pre-sliced format offers convenience without compromising quality, delivering the authentic taste of Spain in minutes. The 80g size is ideal for sharing, picnics, or adding Spanish flair to your everyday meals. Serve it at room temperature to fully appreciate its delicate flavour and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Quality is ensured at every stage, from the sourcing of Iberian pigs to traditional curing and careful slicing by hand. Free from artificial additives and preservatives, this ham reflects the traditions of Spanish artisans. The curing process not only gives the ham its distinct aroma and taste but also ensures it remains naturally preserved and ready to eat straight from the pack.

For the finest experience, open the pack and let the slices rest at room temperature for at least ten minutes before serving to unlock their aroma and full flavour. Store unopened packs in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening, consuming within a few days to maintain freshness.

How the Spanish Enjoy Acorn-fed Iberian Ham

In Spain, especially in regions like Andalusia and Extremadura, acorn-fed Iberian ham is a cherished tradition and a staple at gatherings, celebrations, and casual meals alike. Slicing the ham by hand is viewed as an art form, as it allows the fat to mingle with the lean meat to release a full range of flavours.

Typically, the ham is enjoyed thinly sliced on its own as a luxurious tapa, paired simply with crusty bread or picos, and accompanied by a selection of local cheeses and olives. For a true Spanish experience, it’s often combined with pan con tomate – bread rubbed with fresh tomato -a hint of garlic, and olive oil, topped with ham.

In many homes and tapas bars, it features prominently in celebratory spreads and is served at room temperature, ensuring the aroma and subtle, nutty-sweet taste are at their peak. The sharing of this ham, especially when hand-carved, is considered a gesture of hospitality and Spanish pride, creating a memorable centrepiece for any occasion.
