Aljomar Iberico Ham

The loyalty shown by consumers of Aljomar Iberico ham is the best validation we have to demonstrate that we not only produce one of the healthiest foods in the world, but that the product has the additional advantage of being one of the most exquisite Iberico hams available. Iberico ham contains many benefits directly related to our health, as we will point out below. But we could simply define it as ‘one of the most amazing foods in the world’ due to its bouquet, aroma, texture, juiciness, and that flavour you perceive when you taste an Aljomar Iberico ham. Aljomar understands that the bromatological analysis of an Iberico ham made from from an Iberian pig raised in the Dehesa pastures provides an excellent lipid panel, low in saturated fats, high in monosaturated fats, which is very different from that of an Iberian pig fattened on feedlots. Aljomar breeds and raises their own pigs in the Dehesa pastures of holm and cork oaks, which provides a natural habitat for the authentic Iberian pig.
