Jamon iberico

Jamon Iberico completes a flavour of Spain

Flavours of Spain has reinforced its reputation as the UK’s leading supplier of artisan produce from Guijuelo in Spain, with the introduction of an exceptional selection of charcuterie.

The new range features delicious dry cured and smoked meats from 7 Bellotas, including superior hand-sliced lomo iberico bellota, jamon iberico bellota and chorizo iberico bellota sourced from Iberian producer Sierra de Monesterio. Based in Guijuelo, Salamanca, this area is home to centuries-old oak trees that yield some of the world’s sweetest acorns, giving the meat of the traditionally raised, acorn-fed Iberian pigs its distinct texture and full flavour.

Jamon Iberico Master craftsmen trim, massage, fillet and salt the hams, using time-honoured techniques in preparation for their entry into natural drying rooms. Each ham spends 3 years under the care and supervision of the master craftsmen to enable the curing process to take place before being individually hand-sliced.

Perfectly complementing their existing range of Guijuelo produce, Flavours of Spain now offers a number of exclusive charcuterie products from 7 Bellotas sl – a small producer located at Guijuelo, Salamanca. The region is synonymous with traditional ham production, with producers working closely with local people who possess lifelong experience in creating the finest hams and sausages.

The climate – hot, dry summers and cold winters – combined with the cutting-edge technology the company has developed to enhance traditional production methods without diminishing quality, is ideal for curing pork products. As such, 7 Bellotas is rightly revered for its hams and sausages throughout the Salamanca region.
