Types and Qualities of Ham

The first thing to understand is that Spanish ham comes in two types:

Non-Iberian Ham or Gran Reserva

The Gran Reserva or Gran Reserva ham comes from white pigs. The second important thing to know is that white pigs are raised all over the world. They are raised solely on farms and fed with commercial feed. It's the simplest type of ham and also the most affordable.

Iberian Ham

Iberian ham comes from pigs of the Iberian breed, whose mother is always 100% Iberian. It's raised exclusively on the Iberian Peninsula. It's the only animal in the world capable of infiltrating fat into the muscle. This unique feature is what makes its ham so special and succulent.

In turn, Iberian ham has different qualities and flavors, depending on the pig's diet and the percentage of Iberian breed (50%, 75%, or 100%). Of course, prices vary based on the pig's characteristics, but mostly due to the curing process. An Iberian ham from pigs fed commercial feed and cured for 24 months cannot cost the same as an acorn-fed Iberian ham from pigs raised freely, whose ham has been cured for over three years with the care and patience of an expert.

The various types of Iberian ham are as follows:

Cebo-fed Iberian Ham

This ham comes from an Iberian pig that has been fed commercial feed and grains on a farm. Our cebo-fed Iberian ham is cured for a minimum of 24 months if it's a ham or 18 months if it's a shoulder.

Acorn-fed Iberian Ham

This ham comes from Iberian pigs whose mother is 100% Iberian, and they've been fed acorns and wild fruits during the last 4 months of their lives, from November to March.

100% Iberian Bellota Ham - Pata Negra

This ham comes from purebred Iberian pigs, meaning both the father and mother are Iberian. They've also consumed acorns and wild fruits during the last 4 months of their lives.

Our Flavors and Formats of Iberian Ham

Just like in any great dish, while the ingredients are crucial, the touch and expertise of the chef shaping and flavoring them are equally important. The same goes for ham production. Iberian pigs are born the same way all over Spain, but each region imparts its special touch due to factors such as climate, diet, and especially the manufacturing and curing process carried out by the skilled "cook," as we call them at Enrique Tomás. Based on these elements, we have a range of tastes that we'll detail for you.

Our Flavors

Mild

The mildest and most gentle ham to the palate. It's the "go-to" ham because it's so pleasant and refined that everyone loves it. It's always a safe choice, especially for gifting!

Aromatic

A ham filled with nuances and highly aromatic both in the nose and on the palate. Perfect curing for those with a deep love for ham.

Flavorful

The flavorful ham is the most recent of all. Its production is smaller compared to other regions. It's very profound and unique. It's like an explosion of flavor that lingers on the tongue and in the memory.

Intense

The most intense ham is the intense-flavored one. Its taste is unmistakable due to its boldness and persistence on the palate. For ham enthusiasts with a demanding and resistant palate.

Formats

Whole Piece

The whole piece can be a ham (rear leg of the pig) or a shoulder (front leg of the animal). Available in all flavors and origins.

Boneless Piece

We offer boneless pieces of Gran Reserva, Cebo Iberian, and Bellota Iberian hams.

Sliced

We have all types of sliced ham and shoulder, individually packaged for each origin and type.
