Jamon (Spanish Ham)

  

After many years of prohibition, the king of hams, Jamon Iberico Bellota, from the most famous producer in Spain, Joselito, is now available in Australia.

Whilst there are many different types of Spanish jamons, ham that is labelled 'Bellota' is the best. Bellota is Spanish for 'acorn' and is the main part of the pigs' diet during the fattening period. See "Joselito Jamon" and "Iberian Pig Presentation" for more information.

Also available now is Jamon Serrano, a dry-cured Spanish ham, normally served in tapas bars and cafes throughout Spain. See "7 Hermanos Jamon Serrano" for further information.
