These 100g packets bring the unmistakable character of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota into perfectly hand-sliced portions ready to enjoy. Produced by Montenevado and carrying the red label designation, this ham comes from 50% Ibérico pigs that spend their final months roaming the Spanish dehesa, feeding on sweet acorns and wild grasses. That natural diet is what gives Bellota ham its unmistakable depth and elegance.
Compared with Ibérico de Cebo, the difference is immediately clear. The fat is softer, the aroma more complex, and each slice melts slowly on the palate. Expect a deep ruby colour with delicate marbling that releases flavours of toasted nuts, warm cured pork, wild herbs and a gentle sweetness that lingers long after the last bite.
The red label signifies authentic Bellota ham while offering a slightly lighter style than the famed black label, making it a wonderful introduction to Spain’s most celebrated charcutería.
Each packet is expertly sliced and ready to serve. Simply open, allow the ham to breathe for a few minutes, and enjoy at room temperature with good bread, a few olives and a glass of Spanish wine. It is effortless luxury, the kind of ham that quietly steals the entire table.
