- Processing
- Juviles is a village with fewer than 150 inhabitants located more than 1,200 metres above sea level in the central region of Alpujarra Granadina.
The area's dry climate, with cold winters and hot summers, provides the perfect conditions for curing ham. But what makes this village special is that the hams here are made without any nitrifying agents or artificial preservatives. Just ham and sea salt, and a slow, natural curing process in a cellar (bodega).
The result, after at least 24 months of curing, is an aromatic, slightly salty ham that reveals a bright red colour when cut. This breed of pig, helped by a high-quality diet, has streaks of intramuscular fat running through the meat that make it especially flavourful and tender.
The Ral breed is obtained by crossing a Berkshire male and a Duroc female. These two breeds, along with the Iberico, produce some of the highest quality meat.
- No additives
- Most Serrano hams produced in Spain contain preservatives (sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate), antioxidants and acidity regulators. Such additives are present in very small quantities, and bearing in mind that Serrano ham is eaten raw and without heating, they pose minimal health risks.
Nevertheless, some producers like Juviles, Joselito and organic farmers have chosen to eliminate additives completely so to as to reduce their impact to zero.
Getting rid of additives raises costs, because sanitary conditions must be absolutely impeccable and the cold chain needs to be precisely controlled during the first few weeks, when the risk of microbial infection is higher.
Packaging
Hams and shoulders are not packed in individual cartons. We place all the items you purchase in the smallest possible number of cartons to save on shipping costs.

When you receive it, take it out of the bag and remove all the wrapping. You can keep it hung by the string at room temperature for up to 6 months before starting it. Once cutting has started, consume it in 1-2 months.

Average rating: 
4.8 (see how the average rating is calculated)
Good but not worth it..., December 25, 2021The ham came on time as expected. 2-3 cm of the interior part near the bone was totally fat-free, dry and hard as a rock so I had to trim it off.
Taste is nice, pleasant and not too salty. Marbling is okay too. Being preservative free gave some sense of a more natural product although I could not tell any visual or tasting difference to it.
Considering the price, I will much rather spend the same amount of money on a nice paleta iberica which has indeed less flavour complexities than jamon but overall it is a more homogenous, tasteful cured ham than this product.
Overall: Good but you can find better. Would not buy it again.
Great Jamon, October 24, 2021It is not pata negra, but taste and smell and quality is perfect, it is like younge pata negra really, for a fraction of price.
undoubtely good, September 6, 2021very good packaging, machine-cut my choice, and excellent service but overall the Jamon is first class.
Very competitive price-wise with local products.
How to slice a spanish cured ham
The slicing of a ham with a knife is part of the genuine, quality Iberico ham tasting experience. It is a simple process too, with the right equipment. Nevertheless, certain safety measures should be observed.
