Sliced 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham is one of the most appreciated gastronomic jewels of Spanish cuisine. At César Nieto we know how important it is to enjoy this delicacy at its best.
That is why we offer you acorn-fed Iberian ham in sliced format, vacuum-packed to guarantee its freshness and flavour. So, today we will tell you all about this unique product, its production process and the advantages of enjoying it sliced.
What is 100% acorn-fed, sliced Iberian ham like?
César Nieto’s 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham is a product obtained from purebred Iberian pigs, reared in the wild and fed mainly on acorns during the montanera. This type of feeding gives the ham an unequalled flavour, with intense nuances and a juicy texture.
In addition, the infiltration of fat into the meat, characteristic of Iberian pigs, gives it a unique smoothness and aroma. The curing process of acorn-fed Iberian ham is one of the keys to its quality. This process can last between 36 and 48 months, depending on the size of the piece and the drying conditions. During this time, the ham goes through different stages:
- Salting: The piece is covered with sea salt to dehydrate the meat and enhance its flavour.
- Drying: After salting, the ham is hung in natural drying sheds, where it remains for several months.
- Maturation: In the last phase, the ham matures in cellars, developing its aromatic nuances and reaching its characteristic flavour.
Advantages of enjoying sliced Iberian acorn-fed ham
At César Nieto, we offer you the possibility of enjoying 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham sliced, a practical and delicious option to enjoy at any time. This format has several advantages.
Convenience of the sliced format
Sliced ham is ideal for those who are looking for convenience without sacrificing quality. At César Nieto, we cut the ham into thin slices, ready to be enjoyed. This allows you to enjoy the full flavour of Iberian ham without having to cut the piece at home, making it a perfect option for special occasions or simply to enjoy every day.
Vacuum-packed: guaranteed freshness
In order to preserve all the properties of acorn-fed Iberian ham, each pack of sliced ham is vacuum-packed. This type of packaging ensures that the ham retains its freshness, flavour and aroma for longer.
In addition, vacuum packaging makes it easier to store at home, as you can keep it in the fridge and open it only when you are ready to enjoy it. In this way, the ham is kept in optimum conditions for longer. In addition, the ham retains its original flavour, without oxidising or losing its aroma.
Ideal for any occasion
Sliced acorn-fed Iberian ham is perfect for any occasion. You can enjoy it as an aperitif, at informal dinners, or as part of an Iberian ham platter on special occasions. Its sliced format allows you to prepare a neat and elegant presentation effortlessly. All you have to do is open the packet, let the slices breathe for a few minutes and they are ready to be enjoyed.
How to enjoy sliced 100% Acorn-fed Iberian Ham
To enjoy your sliced 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham to the full, we recommend you follow these simple steps:
- Ideal temperature: The ham should ideally be served at room temperature, between 20 and 25 degrees. If you have kept the ham in the fridge, leave it out for a few minutes before serving so that it recovers its texture and aroma.
- Proper presentation: Place the slices on a plate in an orderly fashion, avoiding overlapping them too much so that each slice retains its texture. This will allow its flavour nuances to be better appreciated.
- Accompaniments: Acorn-fed Iberian ham is perfect on its own, but you can accompany it with toasted bread, extra virgin olive oil and a glass of red or fine wine. These ingredients enhance the flavours of the ham without overshadowing them.
