How to know exactly what you’re buying: we work with official seals (black, red, green and white) so you can identify breed and feeding at a glance.
Types of Iberian ham
Iberian ham is classified by breed and feeding, which shapes flavour, aroma and texture:
- 100% Iberian Bellota (black seal): montanera, fine marbling, nutty notes and a long finish.
- Bellota 50–75% (red seal): dehesa character, a more direct profile and excellent value for money.
- Cebo de Campo (green seal): semi-free range, balanced and juicy.
- Cebo (white seal): milder and more consistent, ideal for everyday enjoyment or as an introduction to Iberian ham.
Curing regions: what to expect in flavour
Regions and curing styles influence the final profile: Jabugo (intense and elegant), Guijuelo (sweeter and creamier), Dehesa de Extremadura (balanced and complex) and Los Pedroches (clean, lingering aromas). Choose whole, boneless or sliced depending on your preference.
How to choose the right ham
- Occasion and budget: for special moments, choose Bellota; for frequent enjoyment, Cebo de Campo or Cebo.
- Format: whole if you enjoy carving and the ham evolving at home; boneless for a slicer and maximum yield; vacuum-sliced if you want convenience and perfect portions.
- Ham vs shoulder: ham (hind leg) is usually rounder and more balanced; shoulder (front leg) is more aromatic and direct.
Delivery, packaging and storage
We prepare every order with careful presentation and protective packaging. For vacuum-sliced ham, we recommend taking it out a few minutes before eating to better appreciate the aroma and texture. If you have any questions about storage or carving, we’re here to help.
Frequently asked questions when buying Iberian ham online
We answer the most common questions before buying Iberian ham online: type, format, storage, delivery and how to choose the right one.
What’s the difference between Bellota ham and Cebo de Campo?
Bellota comes from pigs that enjoy the montanera (acorns and pasture), with fine marbling and a more complex flavour. Cebo de Campo combines pasture and feed, offering a milder, versatile profile with excellent value for money.
What does ‘100% ibérico’ mean?
It means the animal is 100% Iberian breed. This often translates into greater fat marbling, a silkier texture and longer-lasting aroma.
How do I know which seal to choose (black, red, green and white)?
The official seal indicates breed and feeding: black (100% Iberian Bellota), red (Bellota 50–75%), green (Cebo de Campo) and white (Cebo). If you want a more intense, complex profile, Bellota is usually the best fit; for frequent enjoyment, Cebo de Campo or Cebo.
Ham or shoulder: which should I choose?
Ham (hind leg) is usually larger and more “rounded” in flavour. Shoulder (front leg) is smaller, with a more aromatic and intense profile. For gifts or larger gatherings, ham often makes more sense; for a more direct flavour and a lower budget, shoulder is an excellent option.
Which format is best: whole, boneless or vacuum-sliced?
Whole if you enjoy carving and the ham evolving at home. Boneless if you want maximum yield and plan to use a slicer. Vacuum-sliced if you want convenience, perfect portions and an easy serving experience.
How long does vacuum-sliced ham last and how should I serve it?
Store it according to the label instructions. For the best experience, take the pack out a few minutes before opening so the aroma and texture can fully develop.
How should I store ham once it’s been opened?
For a whole piece, cover the cut surface and keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. For vacuum-sliced ham, keep it chilled and take it out a few minutes before eating so it regains aroma and texture.
How long does delivery take? Will it arrive well protected?
We deliver in 24/48 hours (depending on destination). We prepare every order with protective packaging and careful presentation, ideal for gifting too.
Which Iberian ham is best for gifting?
For a premium gift, Bellota is often the classic choice. If you want maximum convenience, vacuum-sliced ham with careful presentation works very well.
What do PDOs (Jabugo, Dehesa de Extremadura) add?
PDOs certify origin and processes, protecting quality standards. They often result in a consistent sensory profile and curing aligned with traditional methods.
