Home > Iberian Ham IBERIAN HAM  López Ortega Iberian Hams are characterised by its exclusivity, exquisite aromas and unique tastes.López Ortega is a "Jamón Ibérico de Bellota", which means that it comes from pure-bred Iberian pigs that roam freely in the pastures and which, during the final fattening process, are fed on acorns and natural herbs. This is the reason why these jamones are called "Iberian acorn hams". All our hams are cured using a traditional and natural method. Our Iberian Ham is the product of a demanding selection process where the hams are submitted a full range of quality controls, including a test to measure the aroma of the meat (known as "cala"). Iberian Ham is always cured to perfection. Our jamón cannot be produced all year round as it is subject to the changes of season which affect the periods the pigs spend on the montanera, This means our hams vary in terms of weight and curing times depending on the time of the year. We adapt the time required for curing and the necessary weight in order to reach the optimum point of maturity for each ham. This can range between 24 to 36 months and from 6.5 kg to 8.5 kg depending on the time of year. The weather, geographical conditions and technical and human expertise are carefully balanced to produce iberian ham with its own distinct qualities. |
