Traditional production

An artisan product

The ham production process is one of the most traditional and natural processes in the food world. For this reason, each ham is produced using only the highest quality meat, together with sea salt, air and time. A lot of time.

  • Carving

    Carving

    Every ham and shoulder is treated with the greatest care when it comes to carving. Here, we find the first critical point: the shape. The artisan cuts the rind putting into practice all his experience to leave the right amount of fat covering.

  • Salting

    Salting

    Each ham will be covered in piles of sea salt, for approximately as many days as its weight in kilos, in a cold and humid environment. Here, the salt penetrates into the meat.

  • Drying

    Drying

    Hung and at the mercy of the seasons. This is what happens during the first months of elaboration. From the cold and dry winter to the hot summer. The temperature and the humidity vary, ensuring that the ham dries gradually, preserving it from external agents.

  • Curing

    Curing

    Darkness. Silence. Patience. The curing process is when the ham brings out the best of itself. Millions of reactions take place inside the meat, blending its features and producing a flavour and an aroma that are deep, complex and intense.
