Spanish ham is a unique delight in the world. It is made from the hind limbs of the white or Iberian pig, cured in salt, and dried in natural cellars under the expert supervision of ham masters following a long tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Spanish ham is classified based on the breed and feeding. The white breed corresponds to the common pig used in the production of Jamón Enrique Tomás Gran Reserva. In their adult stage, these pigs are primarily fed vitaminized feed and cereals. Although this type of ham is commonly known as Jamón Serrano, our product stands out for its superior quality compared to other options on the market.

On the other hand, the Iberian breed is unique in the world due to its genetic qualities and exclusive breeding in the Iberian Peninsula. Regarding feeding, Iberian ham, derived from Iberian breed pigs, can be classified as "de cebo ibérico," "cebo de campo ibérico," or "bellota ibérica." This classification depends on whether the pig has stayed on the farm feeding on feed and cereals, has had freedom in the field and has done the Montanera, consuming wild herbs and acorns while grazing in the dehesa until reaching the proper weight.

To determine which is the best, especially if you are not familiar with them, it's ideal to try different types and choose the one you like the most. At Enrique Tomás, we believe that the best ham is the one that delights your palate when tasting it, regardless of the price or variety. The crucial thing is to opt for the best quality within its category, whatever your choice.

Ham is a delicacy that can be enjoyed at any time of the day: whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. Depending on the time, you can savor it in the form of a sandwich, in chunks as tapas, in slices as an appetizer, or in bits or shavings to accompany a soup or salad.

The versatility of ham allows you to enjoy it in different presentations; you just need to choose the format that best suits the time of day or the dish you are preparing.

Of course! By choosing the Ham or Ham shoulder piece you like, you have the option to purchase it whole or sliced. The slicing service is included in the price and covers the cutting and vacuum packaging of the entire piece, both in slices and in bits and shavings. It's worth noting that all ham from Enrique Tomás, when leaving our warehouse on its way to your home, is at its optimal curing point for consumption.

Therefore, we recommend not buying it too early to avoid deterioration at home. Keep in mind that ham should be stored under suitable conditions of room temperature and humidity. Our drying room is the ideal place to ensure its proper preservation.

You can visit any of our physical stores or make the purchase online, choosing when you want to receive it. On such significant dates as Christmas, transport services usually experience longer delivery times, so we recommend placing the order at least two weeks in advance.

Do you master the cutting technique? If you have never cut Spanish ham or feel unsure, it is most advisable to opt for buying it already sliced. This way, you will not only avoid possible injuries but also get a greater quantity of ham, as our experts make the most of each piece.

Additionally, the advantage of ordering it sliced lies in the possibility of consuming it according to your needs over several months. In contrast, if you decide to buy it whole (with bone), it is recommended to consume it in about three weeks, while the Ham shoulder is recommended to be consumed within two weeks.
