Whole Hams for the Whole Fam
There’s no food like jamón for the holidays. In Spain, families all around the country share in this delightful local delicacy throughout the holiday season. Walk into the home of any Spanish family around the holidays, and you’ll see a glorious leg of jamón or paleta on the counter, just waiting to be devoured by every visitor.
Now, we’re not just talking about any type of cured Spanish ham. The holidays are for indulging in the best foods available, and the Pata Negra is the true icon of cured Spanish meat. It’s made from 100% Iberico pigs raised on a diet of natural grasses and acorns. This truly exceptional food is aged for a minimum of 36 months with nothing but salt and the Spanish breeze, producing sweet and savory notes of truffle, acorns, and honey, and leaving a long-lasting finish that keeps you wanting more.
A whole ham leg is a phenomenal communal treat that keeps on giving. You can create a great tapas board for holiday parties, add it to your dishes at family gatherings, or slice some off for yourself after a long day of cooking, shopping, and present-wrapping. It turns any holiday, brunch, lunch, or dinner into true Spanish luxury. And if you have a smaller family, or are celebrating with just a few friends, a whole paleta (shoulder) is an equally exquisite offering for your holiday table.
