Lola Gourmet products, such as jamón ibérico de bellota, scrupulously observe the relevant regulations to be able to market products from 100% Iberian pork. It is an autochthonous breed of the Iberian Peninsula. Something that reminds us of what type of diet it has and the animal's lifestyle.
We are talking about a premium product that stands out for its aroma, flavor and texture. The quality must be reflected in the label and the color of the flange. It is the way to check if the piece comes from an Iberian pig, raised in freedom, that has fed only on acorns and natural pastures. For the animal's legs to become stronger, it has to move through at least two hectares of pasture. It is the way that the animal does not get fat quickly, but little by little so that the fat gradually infiltrates the meat. Hence the unmistakable texture of our sliced Iberico ham.
Top quality jamón ibérico de belllota
A jamón 100% ibérico de bellota has a series of features that make it unmistakable. For example, it is a stylized ham with a fine shank, with an elongated and worn hoof. This indicates that the animal has moved freely through the field. Furthermore, the purebred Iberian pig has a longer skeleton and limbs. The texture of the fat is another of the distinctive features of the product. The type of fat will account for how the animal has been fed throughout its life. As a Spanish ham holder, at Lola Gourmet we remind you that, in the case of acorn-fed Iberian ham, the fat is soft and soft to the touch. It has a dark yellow color, which is indicative that the pig has spent a lot of time in the montanera.
Keep in mind that the preparation of the pure Iberian ham is very long. It can be extended for at least five years, counting from the birth of the animal.
Whole, boneless or sliced
On our website you can buy the whole ham and take advantage of the bone to make broths. You can also buy it boneless or already sliced and ready to present on the plate and enjoy. In case you want the whole piece, ham or shoulder, for its optimal conservation, you only have to remove the fat from the area that you are going to consume. Realize that it will serve as protection. Rubbing those slices of non-yellow bacon will create a film in the cut area that will hydrate and protect the piece. You can also place those slices on top and cover the pallet with a cloth so that it does not directly hit the light and rust.
