Let yourself be surprised by the quality of this acorn-fed Iberian ham! Acorn-fed Iberian ham is one of the most cherished products of Spanish cuisine. It is a ham from Iberian pigs fed on acorns during the montanera, which is the period when the animals freely roam the dehesas in search of this fruit. Acorn-fed Iberian ham has an intense flavor, juicy texture, and unmistakable aroma. To fully enjoy this delicacy, it is ideal to consume it hand-carved, as this achieves thin and uniform slices that melt in the palate. Hand-carving requires skill and experience, and it is done following the contour of the ham bone. The bone adds flavor and firmness to the ham, and it can be used to make broths or stews. The approximate weight of a whole acorn-fed Iberian ham is around 7 kilos, but it is important to consider that after cleaning and carving, the usable part accounts for about 60 to 70% of the total weight. Cleaning involves removing the rind and excess outer fat, which can be saved for other culinary uses. The carving is done by areas: the maza (thigh), contramaza (counter-thigh), punta (tip), and codillo (knuckle). Each area has a different yield and flavor, with the maza being the juiciest and the punta the most flavorful.
