Iberian Ham in Puerto Vallarta

Iberian Ham is a cured meat made from the hind leg of the Iberian pig, known for its acorn-rich diet that imparts a distinct nutty flavor. The ham undergoes a meticulous curing process that can last up to three years, allowing the fat to render and develop a deep, savory complexity. Each slice reveals a balance of rich umami and a hint of sweetness, complemented by its silky texture, making it an exceptional choice for charcuterie boards or enjoyed on its own.

Wine Pairing

Pair Iberian ham with Fino Sherry—a bone-dry, fortified wine from Jerez with nutty, saline notes that perfectly complement the ham's rich, savory flavor. Its crisp acidity cuts through the fat while enhancing the meat's complex umami.

Origin Story

Iberian ham dates back to Roman times in Spain. The tradition of curing ham from acorn-fed black Iberian pigs evolved over centuries in Extremadura and Andalusia. Jamón Ibérico de Bellota became Spain's most prized delicacy, aged 36+ months.
