Wide Choice of Jamon Iberico from top Spanish brands
Spain has perfected the art of curing hams and is the world’s leading producer of Jamon Iberico Hams. The jewel in the crown of its rich ham culture is the Jamon Iberico de Bellota, also known as Pata Negra, where the pigs are fed on acorns, imparting a wonderful nutty flavour to the ham. The distinctive flavours of Spanish cured meats and Jamon Iberico, Iberico ham leg, Chorizo Iberico, Lomo Iberico and Salchichon Iberico give Spanish charcuterie a real gourmet appeal. At Basco we only source Iberico ham and charcuterie from reputable, established curing houses such as Ibericos Montanegra and Ibericos Maldonado, who are members of the Denomination of Origin Dehesa de Extremadura. Maldonado, a family business located in Alburquerque, specialise in the breeding of pure Iberian breed pigs which only account for 5 per cent of the total Iberico pigs in Spain.
