HEALTHY PLEASURES
A boneless jamón ibérico is a delicious way to spoil yourself.
The five-year jouney of the 100% ibérico pig from the Spanish dehesas to the dinner table is an exceptional process that culminates in the most luxurious, pleasurable culinary experience you can imagine. The oleic acid in the acorns on which the pig feeds makes the fat of jamón ibérico de bellota one of the truly magical taste sensations as it disolves in your mouth. The depth of flavor is like no other and the luxurious combination of sensations lingers like a fine, aged wine.
Can anything this wonderful be this healthy? Absolutely. The fat of jamón ibérico de bellota ham contains over 55% oleic acid (a mono-unsaturated fatty acid). The total amount of healthy fatty acids in acorn-fed cured iberico hams is over 75%, making it the most “cardio healthy” of all animal fats. It also contains vitamins B1, B6 and B12, is an antioxidant, has an ability to lower bad cholesterol levels and is high in Omega 9. Whew, that's a mouthful. And a healthy one, at that!
