100% Ibérico D.O. Guijuelo – Hand-sliced Acorn-Fed Ham

César Nieto 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham, with the added guarantee of the Guijuelo D.O. seal, offers all the intense flavour of 100% Ibérico products with quality that is strictly controlled by our Denomination of Origin. Its characteristic colour, ranging from very dark purple right through to pink, with an important amount of outer fat, is in fact the result of its genetic purity.

Guijuelo D.O. 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham is produced over the basis of 100% Ibérico Breed Ibérico Pigs. The diet of these pigs is exclusively made up of grass and acorns, free-grazing throughout the Salamanca and Extremadura Dehesas (meadowlands). Its production, made with the hind quarters of the animal is completely traditional, using natural salt from the Torrevieja Salt Lake. Its characteristic colour, ranging from very dark purple right through to pink, with an important amount of outer fat, is in fact the result of its genetic purity. Guijuelo’s unique micro-climate and its elevation standing at more than a thousand meters over sea level, allows us to use less salt in its production as compared with other areas. Thus our Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham first comes up in mouth as sweet, a characteristic common to products that are cured in Guijuelo.

The important amount of oleic acid in its fat makes it smooth and light, in turn “melting” in mouth. And it quickly transports its intense flavour and pleasant aromas to the palate. This organoleptic richness is fruit of the 100% Ibérico genetics, its extended curing period, which surpasses 36 months, and the natural diet of the pigs, which is based on acorns.
