FROM IBERICO PIGS FED WITH ACORNS AND 100% NATURAL CURATION PROCESS

Black Label Iberico Ham, known as Pata Negra in Spanish, is the finest of all Iberico Ham. The highest standard of breeding, diet and exercise is required to match the qualification to become “Iberico De Bellota”. Due to this quality raising the meat, it has an intense rich flavour and a delicate soft texture; this Iberico Ham melts in your mouth and the fat on the Jamon has a gentle milky texture which contrasts with the rich meat perfectly as well as being the healthiest animal fat in the world. The craft of Iberico Ham is steeped in history, tradition and love. You can really taste it in every Pata Negra.

The whole Jamon’s average weight is 8-9 Kg. The finest ones are cured for over 36 months and that provides an exquisite and complex flavour. A true Spanish flavour. An unforgettable experience!

Before you buy

It is important to understand Whole Iberico Hams when purchasing one. Iberico Hams generally yield 50%. That means you might expect to get around 4 Kg. of ham slices out of this leg if sliced properly. Everything else is fat and bones. Also Iberico Hams are 50% or 75% Iberico breed. Only Black Labels are 100% Iberico breed, also known as Pata Negra. But this is not really an important quality for the final product as what really matters is the lifestyle of the animal, their nutrition and the time of curation. Once your ham arrives, remove all the packaging and keep it at room temperature, it will last for another year! Once open, it will be good for another 45 days or so before it becomes drier. Just cover the surface with cling film when not in use. I hope this helps!
