Ibesa Acorn-Fed 100% Ibérico Ham, Whole
This ham is a traditional product unique to Spain, and at its peak, it is arguably the best ham in the world.
A 3-star Great Taste Awards winner in 2025
Note from the judges:
"A beautifully cut jamón with a lovely distribution of fat and meat. Judges love the depth of flavour and the fat just melts on the tongue. Really well balanced, with well measured salt. It is delicious. They immediately agreed that this was an exceptional meat and amongst the best of its type they had tried. A fresh, peppery aftertaste follows deep flavours that showcase the caramel notes promised. A truly fantastic ham."
Made with the meat of the Ibérico pig, a breed that has evolved in the south-west of the Iberian peninsula for thousands of years and which has remarkable organoleptic characteristics, this was something that, as an importer, we had to bring to the UK. Our small producer raises the highest quality pure-bred Iberico livestock, which fatten on acorns from the evergreen oaks (encina) on their lands during the winter montanera. The hams then spend 3 years drying and maturing.
Made from pure-bred Ibérico pigs raised in the southwest of Spain, this ham reflects centuries of tradition and a deep connection to the land. The pigs roam freely, feeding on acorns during the montanera season, before the hams are dried and matured for three years.
Our producer works in Los Pedroches, the newest Ibérico PDO, renowned for its vast evergreen oak forests (the largest in western Europe) and exceptional acorns, which give the ham its characteristic sweetness and depth. Perfect with a crianza, or bold enough to pair with Speyside whisky.
