David Beckham certainly knows how to iberico ham it up on the celebrity circuit.

But now David Beckham has proved his total love of iberico ham ( pata negra) full stop.

After the recent visit to Spain– he naturally went shopping.

But rather than go to all the usual designer shops – such as Vittorio y Luccino, where his wife often shopped - he headed off to a local deli to buy an Iberian ham.

“I didn’t get a chance to see what make it was, probably one of those 7 Bellotas from Guijuelo, but it had the classic black hoof or pata negra,”

According to a Press source , he was seen the following day walking through the city with a leg of acorn-fed jamon iberico to take back to Italy.

“I didn’t get a chance to see what make it was, but it had the classic black hoof or pata negra,” said the source.
