Types and qualities of Spanish Hams

Let’s face it: Spanish culture is shaped mostly around good luscious flavor filled food. One of its key players is ham or Jamon, which is by itself a party to the senses. Since we wish to share our love for velvety high quality ham with you and your family, we have carefully selected only the best for your enjoyment. Whichever your taste buds prefer, at Tienda Delicias you will find it in all varieties, as well as the accessories you need to embark on your jamon-loving adventure.

Types and qualities of Spanish Hams:

  • Serrano Ham - Comes from white pigs from the South of Spain fed on grains and cured in the mountains for 12 months. The name Serrano comes from this upbringing in those mountains, the Sierra.
  • Iberico Ham - Comes from black Iberian pigs. It has a subtle nutty flavor with buttery undertones that combines in a velvety texture which melts in your mouth. It is almost a mystic experience to the senses.
  • Iberico de Bellota Ham - Also from free range Iberian black pigs (known as Pata Negra), fed on acorn and grains. It has an intense, complex flavor and marbled flesh, making it the best Ham in the world.
