The 100% Ibérico Bellota Ham "Castro y González"is a piece sourced from purebred Iberianpigs, raised free-range in the dehesa and fed on acorns during the montanera season.
It is recognized by its elongated shape and dark, worn hoof, characteristic of animals that exercise in freedom. It has an intense, bright color, with abundant marbling of white, shiny fat that gives the meat its characteristic juiciness and unctuousness.
On the palate, it offers an intense and persistent aroma, with delicate nuances of nuts and the countryside. Its fat melts smoothly on the palate, resulting in a juicy and unctuous texture, a balanced level of salt, and a long and persistent aftertaste.
Its slow curing process, of more than 48 months, allows the piece to develop all the aromatic and gustatory complexity typical of an authentic 100% Ibérico bellota ham.
