La Tienda
Jamon iberico is widely considered to be the absolute finest ham in the world. The meat from these Spanish pigs is infused with the nutty flavor of their favorite food, the acorn. The hams are categorized based on the quality of the pigs' diet: bellota (acorn-fed), recebo (less-acorn fed), pienso (cereal fed). The only problem is...import restrictions have made it virtually unobtainable in the United States. Tienda.com's Don Harris has been able to work with a cooperative of farmers in Córdoba to bring jamon iberico to the United States. The first shipments will begin in 2007-8. To be among the lucky few, you will need to sign up on Tienda.com's waiting list. The company also sells the super-popular jamon serrano. Significantly less expensive than the eye-popping $80/lb price tag for jamon iberico, jamon serrano is a better everyday alternative and a superb ham. Shipping: USA only |
