Iberian ham
Iberian ham, the undisputed king of Spanish hams, is produced from Iberian pigs. This unique breed has an intense flavour which is able to penetrate the fat of the meat in a perfectly balanced way. This is why every slice of Iberian ham is marbled with fine red and white lines, and it melts between your fingers and on your tongue with an aroma of dried fruits and olive oil and a deep, intense flavour, full of different nuances: truly to die for.

Duroc ham
Duroc pigs are an increasingly popular breed in the production of ham, thanks to the fat present in their muscles which traces fine white lines in the meat.
For this reason, every slice of Duroc ham glimmers with ruby
red and creamy white colours, with an aroma and flavour that are sweet, intense and full of nuances. The perfect ham.
Curing time: over 15 months
Serrano ham
Serrano ham is produced from white pigs, usually the Piétrain and Landrace breeds. This ham is smooth, healthy and low in fat (any fat it contains can be easily removed since it is not mixed with the meat as in the Iberian
and Duroc varieties), making it a perfect part of a healthy daily diet.
Curing time: over 7 months
