- 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. If you prefer having them packed in a different way, email us at info@ibergour.com indicating how many hams/shoulders you want, where you want them shipped and how you want them packed. We will calculate the additional cost of shipping according to your indications.
Bone-in
We ship the whole ham wrapped in grease-free paper and an outside cloth wrapper, all encased in a plastic bag for maximum hygiene. 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.

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.
