The reserve black hoof ham is one of the most appreciated products in Spanish gastronomy. It is a ham from Iberian pigs fed on acorns and cereals, cured for at least 15 months in natural cellars. The result is a piece of approximately 8 kg, with intensely red meat, infiltrated with golden and shiny fat. To the palate, the reserve black hoof ham offers a tender and juicy texture, with an intense and balanced flavor, combining sweet, salty, and smoky notes. The nuances of the ham depend on the breed of the pig, its diet, the climate, and the curing time, making each piece unique and unrepeatable. The reserve black hoof ham is a healthy food, rich in proteins, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. It also contains oleic acid, which helps reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. To enjoy its full aroma and flavor, it is recommended to hand-cut the ham into thin and uniform slices and serve it at room temperature.
