Iberian bellota ham is also known as Pata Negra and is a high-quality ham variety, obtained from Iberian breed pigs fed with acorns (called "bellotas" in Spanish). It has a characteristic appearance, with a thin and crispy crust and an intense pink, very juicy and meaty flesh. The taste of Iberian bellota ham is intense and complex, with notes of nuts and spices. It has a strong and persistent flavor, with a slight sweetness derived from the acorn-based diet. The texture is tender and soft, with a slight grain due to prolonged maturation. In general, Iberian bellota ham is considered one of the tastiest and most flavorful hams in the world. The word "bellota" in Spanish means acorn, and it refers to the oak acorns with which Iberian pigs are fed during the summer grazing period. The bellotas are very nutritious and give Iberian bellota ham its unique and distinctive taste. The fundamental characteristic of the fat of 100% acorn-fed Iberian pigs is its quality and peculiarity compared to other pig breeds. Iberian pigs that feed on acorns (bellota in Spanish) during the summer grazing period develop intramuscular fat rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which gives the ham a soft texture and juicy consistency. This type of fat is known for having a distinctive flavor and aroma, with hazelnut notes and a sweet aftertaste. The acorn-based diet gives the fat of Iberian pigs a unique structure and composition. Acorns are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, which is the same type of healthy fat found in olive oil. This type of monounsaturated fat helps improve the consistency of the fat, making it softer and more delicate on the palate. Furthermore, the acorn-based diet contributes to the even distribution of fat within the muscle, creating marbling and fat infiltrations that give the ham an extraordinary flavor and tenderness. This intramuscular fat gives the ham a silky texture and a melt-in-the-mouth capability. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Processing: Iberian bellota ham is produced following a very traditional and accurate method, which involves several processing stages. The first stage consists of selecting Iberian breed pigs, which are fed with acorns (called "bellotas" in Spanish) during the summer grazing period. This type of diet gives Iberian bellota ham its unique and distinctive taste. Once slaughtered, the pigs undergo a dry salting process, which involves applying salt and spices to the meat to preserve it and give it the typical ham flavor. Subsequently, the ham is hung to dry in specially equipped rooms, where it is exposed to the air for a period that can vary from 24 to 48 months, depending on the size of the ham and the desired quality. The Iberian bellota ham aged for 42 months has therefore undergone this drying process for a period ranging from 42 to 84 months. During this period, the ham loses about 30% of its original weight, acquiring its characteristic appearance and the intense and complex taste typical of prolonged maturation.
