Embutidos Fermín's Jamón de Bellota 100% Ibérico is a premium cured ham made from free-range, purebred Iberian pigs that roam freely in the dehesa during the montanera season, from October to March. During this time, the pigs naturally double their weight by consuming acorns, grass, and other wild resources, resulting in exceptional marbling and a unique flavor profile.
The acorn-rich diet not only imparts a delicate texture and deep aroma but also enriches the ham with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and oleic acid. The pigs' active lifestyle, covering up to 14 kilometers daily, combined with their genetics, produces a product of extraordinary quality and juiciness.
Embutidos Fermín is a family-owned company established in 1956 in La Alberca, a medieval village in the province of Salamanca, Spain. The company specializes in the production and distribution of premium Iberian hams and sausages, using traditional methods and the highest quality raw materials.
With over 60 years of experience, Embutidos Fermín became the first Spanish producer authorized to export Iberian products to the United States, expanding its market to Japan, Canada, China, and Singapore. Located in a natural environment at over 1,000 meters above sea level, the company benefits from a unique microclimate that enables the natural curing of its products, enhancing their exceptional taste and quality.
