To know if we are facing an authentic sliced iberico ham we have to look, among other things, at the weight. A good acorn-fed Iberian ham weighs between 7 and 8 kilos. Remember that the Iberian pig is smaller than the crossed one. Therefore, we have to be suspicious if they offer us an acorn-fed Iberian ham weighing more than 8 kilos.

Sliced iberico ham de pata negra
At Lola Gourmet we remind you that jamón ibérico de bellota 100% or pata negra comes from 100% Iberian animals. Pigs that, during their last fattening phase, have roamed free eating acorns and herbs in the pasture.
When youre going to buy a spanish ham, there are two main elements to identify a pata negra: the seal and the band. It must be black and bear the distinctive 100% Iberian acorn. If it is a protected designation of origin (PDO) we must also read the name of one of the 4 that we have in Spain: Guijuelo, Dehesa de Extremadura, Jabugo and Los Pedroches. Remember that neither all the hams with the black hoof nor all the Iberian ones are pata negra. Only those products with the 100% Iberian acorn designation.
The name of sale must also appear on the vitola or label: 100% Iberico Bellota Ham. Also in slicing, another of the sale options that we offer at Lola Gourmet. In addition, the red and yellow quality seal of the European Union. If you buy the whole piece and you don't have tools to cut the ham at home, take a look at our website and our wide assortment of ham knives.
