Gran Reserva ham is a high-quality product made from Iberian pigs fed with acorns and herbs. The curing process lasts at least 36 months and is carried out in natural drying chambers with controlled temperature and humidity. The result is a ham with an intense flavor, a smooth texture, and an unmistakable aroma.
However, not all Gran Reserva hams meet the requirements set by current regulations. Some producers use pigs of other breeds, feed the animals with industrial feed, or speed up the curing process with refrigeration chambers. These hams are considered out of standard and cannot bear the quality seal that guarantees their origin and production.
To avoid consumer deception, it is important to know the characteristics that an authentic Gran Reserva ham must have. Among them are the weight, which must be at least 8.5 kg; the appearance, which must be elongated and stylized; the color, which must be intense red with white veins; the smell, which must be pleasant and penetrating; and the taste, which must be balanced and persistent.
Furthermore, it is advisable to buy ham from trusted establishments that offer a detailed explanation of the product and its origin. This way, you can enjoy a quality Gran Reserva ham with all the guarantees.
