- Processing
- Ham from Iberian pigs reared on the open range in woodlands owned by Joselito in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula, on a diet of acorns (bellota in Spanish) during the fattening period. Natural drying houses and cellars give the cuts refined aromas and unique sensory characteristics.
Normally, Iberico pigs are born at the beginning of the year and fed in farms until the autumn, when they are put out to pasture so they can eat acorns and grass for two or three months. But Joselito's pigs are among the few who spend two seasons grazing in the mountains. Once their first winter is over, they return to the farm until the next acorn season. This extra helping of acorns, and the fact that they are almost two years old when slaughtered, significantly enhances the meat.

Together with Cinco Jotas, Joselito is the most prestigious brand. It is the most expensive ham and is found only in specialized stores.
These pieces tend to be larger than usual and have more fat, both marbled and outer. They require little salt for curing but take longer to mature. The flavor is mild, slightly sweet and rich in aromas.
This is the favorite ham of great chefs like Ferran Adrià, Alain Ducasse, Juan Mari Arzak, Joël Robuchon, Carme Ruscalleda, Martín Berasategui, Pedro Subijana and others.
Together with Ferran Adrià, Joselito has created JoselitoLab, a place for culinary research and creativity with Iberian ham as its centerpiece. Some of the recipes suggested by Adrià and his team from El Bulli are artichokes with quail eggs and Joselito ham, escalivada (smoky grilled vegetables) with Joselito vinaigrette and Joselito risotto. They have also created new products using ham fat, such as very special flavorful oil, butter and mayonnaise.
Packaging
Hams and shoulders are not packed in individual cartons. We place all the items you purchase in the smallest possible number of cartons to save on shipping costs. If you prefer having them packed in a different way, email us at info@ibergour.com indicating how many hams/shoulders you want, where you want them shipped and how you want them packed. We will calculate the additional cost of shipping according to your indications.
Bone-in
We ship the whole ham wrapped in grease-free paper and an outside cloth wrapper, all encased in a plastic bag for maximum hygiene. When you receive it, take it out of the bag and remove all the wrapping. You can keep it hung by the string at room temperature for up to 6 months before starting it. Once cutting has started, consume it in 1-2 months.
Once the ham has been started, mold may appear around the carving area if nothing has been consumed for several days, especially in damp climates or environments. This is normal; all you need to do is discard the first slice to eliminate the mold.
Boneless no extra charge
We remove the rind and the bone, cutting it into as many parts as you wish, and vacuum wrap each piece separately. We leave only the edible fat (ready to slice and serve).
- Keep it in the refrigerator.
- Expires 6 months after delivery.
- Once a piece is unwrapped it should be consumed within 2 weeks.
- Bones are included for making broth and in cooking.
