César Nieto Iberian Acorn-fed Ham is obtained from selected crosses of the Ibérico Pig, reaching a 50% of iberian 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. The unique microclimate of Guijuelo, and its more than 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 that sweet first impression in the mouth, characteristic of cured products from Guijuelo.
Enjoying César Nieto Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham means discovering an intense flavor full of delicate nuances. This richness is the result of its long curing period, more than 36 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 50% oleic acid in its fats makes it unctuous and at the same time light, it “melts” on the palate. At the same time, it makes Iberian Acorn-fed Ham a particularly heart-healthy food.
