Iberico ham

Acorn-fed pork delicacy

Iberico ham is a dry-cured ham from Spain, made from black Iberian pigs.

The most prized variety comes from pigs fed exclusively on acorns during the fattening period, producing rich, nutty, intensely flavored meat with marbled fat.

Sliced paper-thin and served at room temperature, it's considered among the world's finest cured meats: We splurged on Iberico ham for the party.
