Quantitative ingredient declaration (IQI):
For Iberian acorn ham (meat, salt, E331, E252, E250), the typical quantitative ingredient declaration (IQI) is as follows:
Iberian pork: Represents the main ingredient, generally in a quantity close to 100%, although it is common that labels do not express quantitatively because it is implicit that ham is the main component.
Salt: An essential ingredient in the curing process, although the exact amount may vary, it is generally between 2% and 5% of the total weight.
Acidity regulator E331: Although used in smaller quantities, its specific percentage is generally low and is not usually detailed quantitatively.
Preservatives E252 and E250: Also used in small amounts, usually less than 1%.

Traditional ham is a high-quality product, made with free-range Iberian pigs fed on acorns and natural pastures. Its curing process is carried out in a traditional way, respecting the optimal times and conditions to obtain a unique flavor and texture.
The 8.5 kg traditional ham is an out-of-standard piece, meaning it does not meet the requirements established by the Regulatory Council of the Protected Designation of Origin Iberian Ham.
However, this does not mean it is of lower quality, but it presents some differential characteristic, such as a higher weight, an irregular shape, or a higher than average fat infiltration. These particularities give it a special and exclusive character, making it a highly valued product for the most demanding palates.
