The Iberian Acorn-fed Hams 75% iberian Race of the 2015 vintage come from animals that have enjoyed an excellent “montanera”, both in terms of the number and size of acorns available in the pasture. This early maturing allowed the hams to arrive early at our facilities and thus enjoy a couple of months more curing time than in other vintages. The flavor notes that come from the consumption of the oak fruit are combined with an enormous range of organoleptic nuances, thanks to its progressive enrichment during its more than 60 months of aging.
Enjoying César Nieto Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham 2015 vintage is to discover an intense flavor that is at the same time full of delicate nuances. This richness is the result of its long curing, more than 60 months, and its natural diet based on acorns. Its characteristic color ranges from deep pink to pale pink with abundant fat streaks. The proportion of more than 56% of oleic acid in its fats makes it unctuous yet light, it “melts” on the palate. In addition, it makes Iberian Acorn-fed Ham a particularly heart-healthy food.
César Nieto Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham is obtained from selected crosses of the Ibérico Pig, reaching 75% of the Ibérico Breed in its genetics. Our herds feed exclusively on grass and acorns in total freedom in the pastures of Salamanca and Extremadura.
Its preparation from the hind limbs of the animal is totally traditional, using natural salt from the Salinas de Torrevieja for its salting process. The unique microclimate of Guijuelo and its 1,000 meters above sea level allow us to use less salt in its production than in other areas. That is why our Iberian Acorn-fed Ham has a sweet first attack in the mouth, characteristic of cured products from Guijuelo.
