All IberGour products can be shipped legally to all the countries we serve. For certain countries IberGour includes the documentation required by the appropriate authorities in the package so that there will be no customs problems.

There are no additional taxes to be paid. If we are unable to get your order to you for any reason, we will return the full amount of your purchase immediately.

All orders are hand delivered to the address that you specify when you place your order. For this reason box office addresses are not allowed.

Deliveries are made in the following manner:

  • The trucking company will deliver the package, customarily during office hours, to the destination address. If there is a problem in finding the address they will phone the telephone number you specified when placing your order
  • If there is someone to take the order, that person will be given the package and must sign a delivery note
  • If there is no one at the destination address a notice will be left, with a customer service phone number*
  • You can then call this phone number to agree on a day and time for the parcel to be delivered
  • If on the second delivery attempt by the carrier no one is at the destination address, you must go to the nearest customer service office of that carrier to pick it up

* In certain locations, if you are not at home on the first delivery attempt, the carrier will leave you a note indicating the address and working hours of the nearest post office or parcel shop where you can pick it up.

Jamones & Paletas

Your whole ham or shoulder ham (with the bone) will arrive wrapped in greaseproof paper and in a black sleeve, and this in turn travels inside a vacuum-packed plastic bag, for hygiene reasons (so that it does not stain the cardboard box).

When you receive the package, if the outer plastic bag still retains the vacuum, you can keep it inside the bag for 2-3 weeks, at room temperature (~21º C / 70º F) or lower. If you are going to take longer to start it, it is better to take it out of the bag. If the bag has lost its vacuum, it is also preferable to remove it from the bag.

When you take the ham out of the bag, if you are not going to start it immediately, it is ideal to remove all the wrapping (plastic bag, black cover and paper) and leave it hanging in a dry room at room temperature or below. If you do not have any place to hang it, you can also leave it in the ham holder, without starting it. If the room where you will leave the ham may have flies or other insects, you can leave the ham wrapped in the greaseproof paper and inside the black cover, so that it is better protected.

Finally, it may happen that when you remove the wrapping you see that mold has formed on the surface of the ham. This is normal, especially in humid environments, and is not a problem. Simply remove the mold with kitchen paper.

You can see exactly how we ship whole hams and ham shoulders in this video:

Usually about 40% of the total weight of an Iberian paleta (shoulder), and 50% of a jamon, can be consumed. That is, 60% of the weight of a paleta (50% in a jamon) consists of bone, hoof, outer rind and excess fat (fat that is not eaten).
