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.
