Usually, as the holiday season approaches, we consider buying a Christmas Hamper, either for our own home or as a gift for someone else. It's often the latter, as we might be fortunate enough to receive one at work or from another family member. Regardless, the first thing to consider is our budget and the recipient, the number of people in the household, whether it's a gift for an obligation, etc.

At Enrique Tomás, you'll find practically every budget covered, ranging from less than 40 euros to over 500 euros. And if none of these options fit, don't worry, there are many more unique gifts to delight yourself or others. Of course, there's always ham or shoulder, with different qualities: our Gran Reserva, the cebo Iberian, the cebo de campo Iberian, and, obviously, the Bellota Iberian. Nearly all the hampers come with wine and cava, as well as Iberian bellota cured meats, regardless of the ham's quality, and, of course, the most traditional Christmas sweet: turron, available in two varieties. Maximum quality, maximum flavor.

In our hampers, you'll find ham or shoulder of various qualities:

• Gran Reserva Ham or Ham Shoulder: Mainly from the Duroc pig, not Iberian. Delicious with the best value for quality. You'll recognize them by the brown label and the 3 quality stars.
  
• 50% Iberian Cebo Ham or Ham Shoulder: From an Iberian breed pig, raised on a farm and fed with feed and cereals. You'll recognize them by the white label and the 4 quality stars.
  
• 50% Iberian Cebo de Campo Ham or Ham Shoulder: From an Iberian breed pig raised on a farm and with access to pasture in the field. They've eaten both feed and natural grass. You'll recognize them by the green label and the 4 Premium quality stars.
  
• 50% Iberian Bellota Ham or Ham Shoulder: From an Iberian breed pig raised on a farm that has reached maturity during the Montanera season. Their diet consists of feed, acorns, and wild herbs. You'll recognize them by the red label and the 5 quality stars.

Now, more than ever, as we all need to be mindful of our finances, the healthiest choice would be to select one that fits within our budget. In general, all hams are healthy when consumed in moderation. In gastronomy and health, it's always better to enjoy things in moderation rather than overindulging.

However, it's important to avoid excessive consumption of the external fat on any ham as this fat protects the meat and can become rancid in most cases.

In the case of Iberian ham, the fat that's infiltrated into the meat, a characteristic that makes it unique in the world, is not harmful to health, especially in the case of acorn-fed hams, as this fat comes from the acorns consumed by the animal and melts in your mouth.

To start with, you don't need to travel to the store, let alone carry the product to your home or someone else's. Additionally, you can choose, order, and pay in just a few steps from your computer or from the Enrique Tomás app.

At Enrique Tomás, all our products are guaranteed. If any issue arises, you can rely on our Customer Service, just as if you were shopping at the neighborhood store. Get in touch with our team, and we will provide you with a solution with the same guarantee we offer in our physical stores. And all of this without leaving your home.

In our online store, we have a wide variety of promotions, and most orders come with an extra gift. In our online chat, we have a team of advisors who will assist you instantly with any questions you may have.

We deliver to all of Europe within 3 to 5 working days, depending on the country and the distance. For domestic shipments, you will receive your order at home within 24 to 48 hours, ready to enjoy.

The choice of which ham you like depends on your personal preferences. All hams are the best if they suit your taste. It's really that simple. Ham is not meant to satisfy hunger but to be enjoyed and provide pleasure.

At Enrique Tomás, all hams are of high quality, but the final choice depends on your personal tastes and, of course, your budget. If you don't want to buy a whole piece, don't worry; you can purchase it in packets. This way, you can try different types according to your cravings or needs.

In Enrique Tomás, ham is available in various formats to cater to all budgets and preferences.

The ideal approach is to purchase it shortly before the holiday season, so it's ready for consumption. You can also place an order and request that we deliver it on the date you prefer, ensuring it doesn't dry out or deteriorate. If you buy pre-sliced ham, each packet can be consumed up to 90 days after it's cut, meaning you can have it at home for three months without needing to open it immediately. As you can see, this shouldn't be a problem as we have ham to suit all tastes.

All hams from Enrique Tomás that leave our warehouses are at their optimal curing point for consumption, so we don't recommend buying them too far in advance to avoid spoilage at home. It's important to maintain the product at the right room temperature, ranging between 17°C and 23°C, and ensure an optimal humidity level for proper preservation.

It's very straightforward: you can visit any of our physical stores or buy it online, and you decide when you want to receive it. From Enrique Tomás, we recommend placing your ham order at least 2 weeks before Christmas, as these are busy times, and shipments may take longer than usual.
