Classic premium jamon 365 days aged

Jamon is a classic delicacy and gastronomic masterpiece of Spanish cuisine. It is considered one of the most popular delicacies in the world. The delicacy is a whole dry-cured pork leg. For jamon, only the hind legs are used. The path of jamon from a fresh leg to a dry-cured delicacy includes several stages: salting, washing, equalizing salinity, drying and ripening. Excess fat is trimmed from the ham and the pork leg is covered with salt, which simultaneously serves as a preservative and dehydrant. That is, it draws moisture from the meat and also prevents the development of unwanted processes in the meat. The ham is then rinsed of salt, given its final shape and hung in a chamber with stable humidity and temperature, which is carefully controlled. The next step is to place the future jamon in special boxes or cellars for ripening. This process takes from a month to 1 year. During this time, the ham acquires a specific taste and aroma. The aroma that the jamon exudes determines its readiness. Afterwards it is fixed in the jamoner and cut with a special knife into thin, almost transparent pieces. In order for the aroma of the delicacy and its taste to appear most vividly, it is laid out in one layer on a serving plate, which should be slightly warm. Do not serve jamon straight from the refrigerator! Let it warm up to room temperature to feel the piquant taste and rich aroma of the product. When served this way, the secondary flavors are revealed, for example, a mix of creamy and nutty flavors. Jamon can be eaten on its own, as an antipasto (snack), drizzled with olive oil or combined with foods such as figs, peaches, grapes, olives, vegetables (cherries, zucchini, green beans, cauliflower), fresh baguette, balsamic, greens (arugula, lettuce), blue cheeses; dry red wines, as well as as part of bruschetta, salads, or serve a pasta dish with a “rose” of jamon strips. The classic combination is jamon and melon. The honeyed sweetness of melon and the salty dry-cured meat create an unsurpassed gastronomic explosion! We invite you to try classic premium 12-month aged jamon! Aging for 365 days makes the meat very soft, and its taste multi-dimensional, rich and rich. Well-aged meat has a texture as smooth as silk and a flavor as complex as a fine wine.
