Villar Reduced Salt Serrano Ham Joint (1kg)

Discover the delightful and healthier option of the Villar Serrano Ham Joint with reduced salt. This authentic Spanish Serrano ham joint is a superb choice for those seeking the traditional taste of Spanish ham with the added benefit of reduced sodium. “Jamón de Bodega” refers to a classification within Serrano ham that typically undergoes a curing process of 9 to 12 months, resulting in a milder, more approachable flavour compared to longer-cured varieties like Gran Reserva.

Villar, a renowned Spanish producer with a rich history spanning generations, is celebrated for its commitment to traditional methods and quality. Their main production facilities are located in Soria, in the Castilla y León region of Spain. This area, with its unique microclimate and dry, cold winters, provides ideal conditions for the natural curing of Serrano hams. Villar ensures that each ham joint is carefully selected and cured to perfection, using expertise passed down through generations to achieve a consistent and exceptional product.

The innovation of reduced salt content in this particular Serrano ham joint means it contains significantly less sodium than traditional hams, often up to 25% less. This makes it a more suitable option for those mindful of their salt intake, without compromising on the rich, characteristic flavour that Spanish cured hams are famous for. The expert curing process still allows the ham to develop a wonderful aroma, a pleasant texture, and a balanced, savoury taste that is genuinely satisfying.

It is incredibly versatile. Its convenient “taco” or block format makes it easy to slice as needed for tapas, charcuterie boards, or to dice into cubes for adding flavour to soups, stews, or salads. It’s a premium ingredient that effortlessly elevates any dish, bringing the true essence of Spanish cuisine to your table. Enjoy this flavourful and mindful choice from a producer dedicated to both tradition and modern health considerations.
