100% Iberian acorn-fed ham
100% Iberian acorn-fed ham
100% Organic Iberian Bellota Ham comes from 100% Iberian breed animals, which are raised free in the best pastures during the months of montanera, fed on acorns and grass. This product comes from Monte Nevado's desire to offer a gourmet product based on the origin of native strains, breeding and management on accredited farms with sustainability criteria with totally organic food.
Tasting Note: When cutting the ham, we observe lean meat with shades ranging from pink to very intense red, a shine derived from the white-coloured marbled fat and small formations of “crystals”, precipitates of amino acids, also white, which indicate slow processing and curing.
The external fat of the piece has a soft and penetrable texture, with signs of great fluidity.
From the start we perceive the imprint of the acorn in the flavour of the cured and aged meat, without noticing rancidity, with pleasant notes of butter and cured fat from the interior, and notes of toasted hazelnut, wet wood and wild flowers. At the end, sweeter notes predominate due to its higher fat content. The flavour persists for a very long time in the mouth due to the quality of the acorn fruit in this vintage.
It is a slightly salty product, with sweet notes from the starch of the acorn, reminiscent of nuts, and a marked presence of umami flavour, responsible for palatability, which balances and rounds out the whole flavour, enhancing and enhancing it in a pleasant and delicious way.
