Jamon Ibérico de Bellota – Bone-In (48 Month Cured)

By Fermin – Pata Negra Quality**

Experience the highest expression of Spanish gastronomy with Jamon Ibérico de Bellota by Fermin, crafted from free-range Ibérico pigs raised on the historic dehesas of Spain. These pigs roam freely and feed naturally on grasses, herbs, and—most importantly—acorns (bellotas) during the Montanera season. This acorn-rich diet creates the iconic marbling, silky texture, and deep, nutty flavor that define true Pata Negra ham.

Each ham is salted by hand, cured naturally in mountain air, and aged for a minimum of 48 months, developing its signature sweetness, aromatic complexity, and melt-in-your-mouth fat. This is the top tier of Ibérico ham—certified Bellota and produced using centuries-old traditional methods.
