In the dehesas, an indigenous forest of southwestern Spain, the Ibérico pig, a descendent of the wild boar, still wanders freely.  Popularly known as the Pata Negra, or Black Hoof, the Ibérico's diet consisting of acorns and other naturally growing plants of the dehesa, is responsible for the unsurpassed taste and quality.

These hams are prized both for their smooth texture and rich savory taste. A good ibérico ham has regular flecks of intramuscular fat. Because of the pig's diet of acorns, much of the jamón's fat is composed of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. So not only are you experiencing the taste of the world's best ham, you are also reaping the health benefits of a superior product.  As Oscar Wilde so wisely said "I have very simple tastes, I am always satisfied with the Best."

Until recently, Jamón Ibérico was not available in the United States and continues to be in very high demand and short supply.
