Premios Alimentos de España - Mejor Jamón Serrano de España
2024
Jamones Castelfrío, a distinguished producer based in Cedrillas, Teruel, Spain, offers the exceptional Jamón de Teruel DOP Perfecto. This premium serrano ham is crafted under the stringent standards of the Denomination of Origin Protegida (DOP) Jamón de Teruel, ensuring superior quality and authenticity.
In 2024, the Jamón de Teruel DOP Perfecto was honored with the prestigious Best Serrano Ham in Spain award by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food. The expert jury highlighted its homogeneous and balanced composition, revealing an intense, bright red lean meat with uniform marbling and white-pinkish, lustrous fat upon slicing.
The ham's characteristic aroma of aged curing and its well-rounded flavor were also commended. The production of this exquisite ham begins with the selection of pigs raised in the province of Teruel, adhering to the DOP's rigorous guidelines. The hams undergo a meticulous curing process, benefiting from the pure, clean air of Cedrillas, situated at an altitude of 1,364 meters.
