100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham — Whole leg 9 kg, bold flavor
100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham comes from the Iberian pig and is a hallmark of Spanish gastronomy —and Portuguese cuisine, where it is known as presunto ibérico—, widely regarded as a gourmet delicacy. It originates in oak and cork-oak woodlands across the province of Córdoba, an exceptional setting for rearing and curing.
Origin, rearing and curing
Its quality is driven by pure breed genetics, free-range rearing in the dehesa, acorn-based feeding during the montanera, and slow curing lasting 24 to 48 months depending on size and fat marbling. This artisanal approach enhances its sensory profile and culinary stature.
Sensory profile
Expect a deep aroma, balanced savory taste, and a melt-in-the-mouth texture, with a long finish characteristic of the acorn diet. The color ranges from rosy to purplish red, glossy, with pinkish fat rich in oleic acid, which yields a silky feel and outstanding organoleptic qualities.
Production and place
Crafted by Belloterra with meticulous attention to detail, it leverages a unique environment to guarantee quality while combining traditional know-how with continuous innovation. Facilities are located in Añora, at the heart of Los Pedroches in northern Córdoba, where Iberian pigs feed on holm-oak acorns rich in natural sugars that lend the area’s ham its subtle sweetness. With efficient management and distribution, the brand elevates the sector while preserving culture and tradition.
Properties
