Buy Domecq Jabugo Shoulder ham, 100% Iberico Pata Negra

The Domecq family has been involved in wine (sherry, brandy) and livestock farming for three centuries. They began breeding Iberian pigs in 1970, at a critical juncture when the breed was on the verge of extinction, but it was not until the year 2000 that they began selling ham under their own brand. They use a unique breed, the 100% Iberian lampiño-mamellado pig, which is distinguished by a high marbling of fat within the muscle. It is an exclusive product – barely 6,000 pieces are sold each year – with excellent flavour, curing and presentation. You simply must try it at least once in your life.

Processing

Shoulder ham from purebred Iberian pigs reared on the open range in Spanish woodlands on a diet of acorns during the fattening period.

Iberian paletas ageing in the Domecq cellar — Iberian "paletas" ageing in the Domecq cellar.

Once weaning is complete, the pigs begin to feed on high-quality feed (cereals and legumes) and natural pasture in vast wooded areas until the montanera (acorn season) begins, when the acorns ripen and fall, becoming their main source of food for 3 or 4 months.

It is important to bear in mind that the diet prior to the acorn-feeding season is not aimed at fattening, as is the case with pigs destined for lower-quality products. The animal entering the pasture is lean and muscular. In short, it is prepared to be able to walk and climb up and down the hills. Low-quality fats that would alter the flavour of the ham are avoided.

Visually, they are beautifully shaped pieces, with no excess external fat. Aromatically, the complex scents so typical of the Sierra de Huelva stand out.

Additives are used with great moderation. In fact, some of them are practically absent by the time the ham is consumed, as they decompose over the years.

Production: Mountain-raised purebred Iberian hogs reared on the open range.

Taste note: Dark red colour with fine white streaks, sweet aroma, balanced in salt.

Storing and expiry date: It depends on the format. See "Presentation".
