Sanchez Romero Carvajal Jabugo Bellota Shoulder Ham

Embark on a culinary journey with the extraordinary Sanchez Romero Carvajal shoulder ham (100% ibérico), a true masterpiece of Spanish gastronomy. Hailing from the historic heartland of Jabugo, in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), this premium ham is a testament to centuries of artisanal tradition and unparalleled quality.

Sánchez Romero Carvajal has upheld a steadfast commitment to excellence for over 140 years. Their 100% Ibérico pigs roam freely in the vast dehesa pastures, feasting exclusively on acorns (bellotas) during the montanera season. This natural diet, combined with the ideal microclimate of Jabugo and a minimum curing period of over 36 months in their centenarian cellars, imbues the ham with its distinctive, complex flavour and unique marbling.

Each slice of this authentic Jabugo bellota shoulder ham offers a symphony of aromas and a meltingly tender texture that will captivate your senses. The bright, reddish-pink lean meat, beautifully infiltrated with the characteristic oily fat from the acorns, delivers a delicate, nutty, and subtly sweet taste with a long, satisfying finish. Recognised with the prestigious “Superior Taste Award,” this black-label (Brida Negra) certified ham represents the pinnacle of Ibérico production. It’s more than just ham; it’s an unforgettable experience of Spanish heritage and craftsmanship, wowing even the most discerning palates.
