I tried some at Cafe Sevilla in San Diego, and the flavor wants to blossom in your mouth with just one thin piece of it. The nutty flavor expands like some liquid flavor, it happens rather immediately compared to other meats like chorizo that I tried with it. Eating it piece by piece, that is where you can experience it the best. Expensive, yet very worth it.
My Family is from Spain and I grew up eating all Pig products,, Chorizo, Lomo Jamon Serrano Etc,,, But it is always something special when we break out the Jamon Iberico Pata Negra de Bellota is absolutely the best ham in the World!! The Italian nor the French can't even come close!!!
I am Spanish, my grandparents always gave us a leg of extremely good Jamón Ibérico for Christmas that would just sit on the kitchen counter and last until April or May (yep, foreign visitors did get slightly weirded out by having a pig's leg just standing there). I went abroad for university, so I now keep one in my shared apartment (thank God for the EU, which allows me to just carry around charcuterie across borders like it's nothing) and all my roomates are terminally forbidden from touching it. They can eat as much as they want if they ask me to cut it, but I absolutely refuse to let someone butcher the thing and insult all my ancestors by either not cutting it correctly or eating it with canned sardines (this is a true story unfortunately).
@@jmiquelmb Oh my God. Just oh my God. I could cry about it. I’m studying in Germany, maybe I need to install security cameras on my jamón. It’s not like you can’t fry or cook jamón (like the taquitos you get from the center), but you do that with the bits that are way too tough to eat otherwise.
Being English I love Spanish food better than any cuisine I’ve tried. My nan n grandad chose to live in a rural area of Alicante away from English tourist hotspots so I’m very lucky to be able to experience the food Spain has to offer. I visit my grandparents for 6 weeks every year, and every time I go the first thing we’d do is go into the local town and go to a bar called Rio Bravo, the owner Miguel was always friendly and he’d slice me up the finest Jamón he had, then later on would bring us out a meal and we’d eat it with his family. He sold that bar before the pandemic but I still see him at another bar in Redován every time I go and we’d order some tapas and sit outside drinking and eating until 2am. My grandparents neighbours would also sometimes invite us round for dinner and would cook us an amazing meal, then I discovered Mona through them and I couldn’t get enough. Safe to say I’ve had sone great experience with Spanish food and Jamón is a luxury I wish I could have every day. I bought a leg from Aldi for £80 recently and it was terrible compared to something you’d get in Spain. I count down the days till I’m in Spain again so I can enjoy some Jamón with my grandad.
I was a vegetarian until I went to Spain and my parents bought one when I was young. Said I gotta try as I’ll never be able to experience it again. So I tried it and my lord. Been eating meat since then and no restaurant or home cooked meals can compare to this. It’s that good. Wish we could get it in Canada :/
I'm not usually one for luxury products, but Jamón Ibérico is actually an exception. The taste is great and sure, it technically is a lot more expensive than other styles of ham, but you can get more flavour from a lot less ham, too. Like, the average package of sliced Jamón Ibérico is around 80g and slightly more expensive than an average 200g package for other kinds of ham. But if you use one of those super thin slices, that's plenty for your sandwich.
if you buy really expensive ham (20 euro for 100 grams) , you should´nt put it between bread. Eat it with bread sticks but the ham alone. Otherwise go for a mid-price ham (between 10 euros for 100 grams)
Im from spain eat a looot of jamon iberico from the best black and read to the green and white tiket and i can tell you that the good ham comes in full leg. Packeage iberican ham is not the real deal for sure because it gets worst whit the packeage i can tell you that from experience. The best you can do is get a green tiket leg for like 150 or 200 dolars if you now were you can get good stuff for that price here in spain it will be anyway the best ham if you havent try a blak or red tiket but thats up to 500 dolars pice that weights like 7 kg
This isn't the kind of stuff you make a ham sandwich with 🤦🏻 Jamón Ibérico, Prosciutto crudo. Pršut, etc. are all fine meats for a charcuterie board, not a sandwich to pack in your lunch. They also have some applications in cooking, but that application is not being slapped between two slices of sandwich bread with tomato and lettuce.
I am from the USA. Vale! Iberic ham is the best. I really try couple in here around the USA and world. Nothing compares. Hear me, I am most of the time vegetarian. I truly tell you, it is delicious.
Five years ago, my wife decided to become a vegetarian for environmental reaons. However, she made one fundamental exception; occasionally she eats jamon serrano.
I went to Spain a week agó for 15 days. My cousin from Malaga had an Iberico leg ham waiting for us, her husband was the only one with knowledges to slice it.
it's amazing that ham cutter is a job in itself. obviously, the best ham in the world.. If you have some sliced iberico bellota that stayed around a bit too much here is a recipe: - gently cook the pieces of ham on a frying pan. add the equivalent of crude eggs and make an omelette. it's delicious. don't add salt !
I am Spanish and the man is right, be careful with fakes, there are a lot of scammers out there and it is very easy to deceive people who have never tried ham. I hope yours is good!! Greetings!
jamon iberico and the various blue cheeses of northern spain (valdeon, cabrales etc) are the two produce items which spain do miles better than any other nation, imo. italians will say its fake but they know deep down
The hardest part for this guy is putti bc the slices on he plate 😂 like damn i cant imagine having difficulty with something so simple blows my mind seeing people like this
I was lucky to have surrounded by Jamôn Bêrico while living in Bilbao,Basque country of Spain. One best place to hunt for this hams. The Catalan are proud of their hams and don't ever jaw-drop whenever you see lots of pig legs hanging all over their pintox restaurant. It's a sign of wealth. Delicious like hell👏👍👌🙏
I'm Spanish and I never thought it was weird to have an entire pig's leg just sitting in its special stand on the kitchen counter until foreign visitors kept looking slightly pale and having nightmares about it.
And this is the best of the best, you could have something really good for half the money, thats what most of people do, because not much people can afford 300€ ham. Ours this year was 70€ and i couldnt be more happy with it
1.11 and 3.45 the ham man was standing inside a ham forest. Each year around November, Costco will bring out this seasonal ham, which comes with it's own wood/hooks, knife, I think it was around $299 for 1 leg of ham.
It's not seasonal though. They probably sell it around this time because it's near Christmas, and people are more prone to spend several hundred on luxury food. In Spain it's sold all over the year, but demand rises during holidays
So that they then say that the life of the animal does not matter, if those animals are going to be sacrificed to make ham. But at least the life they have is one of freedom and happiness, roaming at ease in the countryside eating acorns, without being in a farm packed into tight rooms. Furthermore, when it comes to slaughtering them, they don't make them suffer either, since that strains the body muscles and then the quality of the ham is worse.
Hace unas décadas,nos tocó un jamón en una tómbola del pueblo. Lo dejamos colgando en la terraza,y por las noches,bajaba sin hacer ruido, común cuchillo a rebanar el jamón 🗡️😋😋😋😋😋
It's cured. Eaten as is. It's sometimes cooked into certain dishes to add flavor, but it's usually not fried as frying it is pointless and it's not grilled because grilling it would cause it to lose the fat that's in the meat which gives its specific flavor. You just carve it and eat it. Usually with wine and cheese. Sometimes it is put into sandwiches, typically just a baguette cut in half, with slices of tomato, a drizzle of olive oil and the ham.
SIMPLY the BEST in the WORLD !!! and all OTHER'S just come BEHIND !!! ... SIMPLEMENTE de los MEJORES del MUNDO !!! y todos los OTROS solo vienen DETRÁS !!!
He was saying that having that much space to freely walk, run, explore and being able to eat acorns makes them live so happily. I don't get the use of " ".
I think it was 400 years of Spanish colonization in the Philippines. It's far away from mainland Spain, hence I think not evey tradition transplanted over there. But also the weather didn't help. Are there acorn trees in Philippines?
I came one step from buying a whole ham to covet and have in my own home. Then I realized in the end it's not the best heath choice and I'd feel bad after consuming the entire thing in a week.
I, personally, think you made the wrong decision. Ham is delicious. Also, you can share with friends. At least one or two, considering CoViD and all that.
Most people in Spain don't get an entire ham either. It was traditional back then, when families were larger, and people often ate way too much pork, tbh. My father told me that when he was a kid, it was usual on the family to kill two pigs every year for self consumption. Pork and wine were consumed in very high amounts. Nowadays it's common to sell portions that are often already cut. It's more expensive per weight, but far more practical to pick a 100 gram air tight package. I'd recommend you to try them if you want to enjoy jamón and be health conscious.
@@jmiquelmb Two pigs a year is probably less than a lot of people in the US consume, these people have quite a big obesity problem. Two porks will give you about 180kg of meat, and I'm pretty sure that's rather on the large side (Iberian pigs are bigger than the average pig, but I'm pretty sure I still overcalculated), which divided between a family of, say, 4 (again, the average family would have been bigger than that), you get 45kg per person, which is about 20kg more than the average American eats of pork in a year, but the average American also eats about 50kg of chicken and 25kg of beef, and I'm pretty sure Spaniards in the 30s (so before the civil war) would probably not have eaten that much meat that is not pork. Most traditional Spanish recipes (cocido, etc) contain some meat, but are mostly plant-based. But also, if you buy the entire leg, it lasts for months, and you can also use the meat that's closest to the bone and you can't really cut properly for cooking, and also saw the bone into pieces and use it to flavour cocido, so you do get quite a bit of value out of everything. It's not really that hard to finish an entire one if you have a family of four or so, and it's pretty hard in Spain not to have visitors or family coming around every so often to help you with it. Pre-cut Jamón Ibérico is pretty convenient, but also I guess I'm too Spanish in that it really hurts to pay so much more for something.
I must say that I do enjoy a good funeral, for the food afterwards as they always have ham butties. The line where the farmer says that the pigs live just like Kings is true. In England many of our previous Kings were fattened up throughout their lives and then killed, although I don't believe that we used to cut off their legs and buttocks, dry cure them and then eat them on special occasions, although I could be wrong on this (there is an awful lot of inbreeding in our royal family which does rather lead to all sorts of bad habits).
It´s easy. Buy in the internet. You can try in this website www.ibericosvazquez.es, for example. Available for all UE countries. Regards from Spain and bon apetit.
jamon Ibérico is not only from Spain as it is produced sinds the middle ages in Central and the South of Portugal.Actually the most black pigs live in Portugal and we have larger oak forests(acorns) than Spain.I have a video of a Portuguese producer that has won an award of the Best Ibérico Ham in the World protected by EU Laws.DW must do it's research a bit better I'm afraid.Spaniards tend to take Portuguese inventions for theirs throughout history,like with "churros" invention from the 15th Century in Portugal.People have been eating them in Portugal for 500 years and everybody thinks it's Spanish,they are called Farturas in Portugal for Centuries.
El jamón ibérico de 'Casa Lucas' se ha convertido en el mejor sabor del mundo 2023, según una cata a ciegas realizada por más de 200 chefs internacionales y superando a 951 alimentos y bebidas Premium de todo el planeta.
Very interesting. Like everyone, I love iberico ham. But I do think its a shame this piece didnt include the slaughter process. I had hoped that perhaps in case of these iberico pigs, the same care went into the slaughter and was worthy to share.
Thanks for watching our video. There are several reasons why we didn't include the slaugter process. One of them was that the pigs simply weren't slaughtered during the time we produced the report.
There's always a debate about the morality of meat consumption. But considering what I know from high grade Iberico, I suspect those are some of the most "humanely" (so to speak) raised pigs around. Sadly, nowadays most animals don't have the possibility to eat natural foods and walk around. If it's acorn-fed, which is limited to the expensive one, it's pretty much assured that the pig had better living conditions than most farm animals. Still, I understand any moral qualms about meat consumption
"Imagine if it was cut badly, wgat a disappointment it'd be" preceeds to cut into really small badly cut peices. I mean who wants to eat it like that seriously
this stuff is good but the way these dudes take it way too seriously is overdone. they acting like its the most delicate and delicious process known to man. its good but its ham.
The only sad thing about the wonderful Spanish Countryside: DW calls Anselmo a Pig Farmer, but hey just says he looks after the Finca, it isn´t his Spain had never have a real landreform like the rest of Europe. In a big part thanks to Franco there a still huge Latifundios owned by Nobles or other rich, especially in the south of Spain: Extremadura, La Mancha, Andalucía. (in the North it´s historically small farmers, that´s why the north historically is also more conservative) At the same time the Villages in this Areas are very poor - 40% -50% (seasonal) unemployment - huge poverty - problems with crimes. Especially the southern part of spain exports a lot if agricultural products (ham, grain, olive oil, oranges), but the money goes to the big landowners and doesn´t stay in the villages. So Anselmo very probably gets a really bad wage for european standards and the product he produces (still one of the best in his village though). The Money from this expensive ham goes to some degenerate Landowner sitting in his big appartement in this City Spain... maybe the only country in Europe were parts of feudalism have survived into the modern Age..

is it fryable? or grillable? as well as being eaten dry age?
It's cured. Eaten as is. It's sometimes cooked into certain dishes to add flavor, but it's usually not fried as frying it is pointless and it's not grilled because grilling it would cause it to lose the fat that's in the meat which gives its specific flavor.

Two porks will give you about 180kg of meat, and I'm pretty sure that's rather on the large side (Iberian pigs are bigger than the average pig, but I'm pretty sure I still overcalculated), which divided between a family of, say, 4 (again, the average family would have been bigger than that), you get 45kg per person, which is about 20kg more than the average American eats of pork in a year, but the average American also eats about 50kg of chicken and 25kg of beef, and I'm pretty sure Spaniards in the 30s (so before the civil war) would probably not have eaten that much meat that is not pork. Most traditional Spanish recipes (cocido, etc) contain some meat, but are mostly plant-based.
But also, if you buy the entire leg, it lasts for months, and you can also use the meat that's closest to the bone and you can't really cut properly for cooking, and also saw the bone into pieces and use it to flavour cocido, so you do get quite a bit of value out of everything. It's not really that hard to finish an entire one if you have a family of four or so, and it's pretty hard in Spain not to have visitors or family coming around every so often to help you with it. Pre-cut Jamón Ibérico is pretty convenient, but also I guess I'm too Spanish in that it really hurts to pay so much more for something.

Santani bros let's export this to india in large scale.Will you be willing to donate for such a task which will uplift India ?
Looks like mummified leg 😰 but I bet they taste great!
Mummified leg 😅. Yes they do!
Expensive is relative With the quality.... buy one ham at 70 euro 2 month after you can drop it.
Buy one at 700 euro 4 years after it s always ok
Everybody enjoys ham except people who cant stamd pork.
Antes se hacía la matanza y hacías jamón,lomo, chorizo, salchichón, paletilla, costillar, espinazo, se comía hasta el rabo asado en la lumbre
I must say that I do enjoy a good funeral, for the food afterwards as they always have ham butties. The line where the farmer says that the pigs live just like Kings is true. In England many of our previous Kings were fattened up throughout their lives and then killed, although I don't believe that we used to cut off their legs and buttocks, dry cure them and then eat them on special occasions, although I could be wrong on this (there is an awful lot of inbreeding in our royal family which does rather lead to all sorts of bad habits).
Must be a delicacy on a pineapple pizza 🥰

Pineapple pizza is ABSOLUTELY disgusting

What do they do with the rest of the pig? I wonder what the ribs, chops or belly from a Spanish Black pig tastes like?
Ummm… Very Good too.
They make salami "salchichon Iberico de Bellota" which is also amazing. Other parts of the pig can be used as normal.
Why are they all named Anselmo?
Haha, pure coincidence
I would do anything to taste it.
It´s easy. Buy in the internet. You can try in this website www.ibericosvazquez.es, for example. Available for all UE countries. Regards from Spain and bon apetit.
Why cant it be ate like cake? Cut it out in chunk and bite it. Slice it thin or big in the end it goes into the same mouth and stomach.
It takes two years to fatten them but five years to cure?
It's a very long process...
Wonder what a Japanese chef/ carver will do with this ham.
Eat it with a big grin on his face like the rest of us
Which acorn is it?
Holly oaks and cork oaks.
Is here scarlet witch talk with dr strange?
jamon Ibérico is not only from Spain as it is produced sinds the middle ages in Central and the South of Portugal.Actually the most black pigs live in Portugal and we have larger oak forests(acorns) than Spain.I have a video of a Portuguese producer that has won an award of the Best Ibérico Ham in the World protected by EU Laws.DW must do it's research a bit better I'm afraid.Spaniards tend to take Portuguese inventions for theirs throughout history,like with "churros" invention from the 15th Century in Portugal.People have been eating them in Portugal for 500 years
and everybody thinks it's Spanish,they are called Farturas in Portugal for Centuries.
To be fair. Portugal and Spain have had the "I'm better than you" contest for 1200+ years now.
El jamón ibérico de 'Casa Lucas' se ha convertido en el mejor sabor del mundo 2023, según una cata a ciegas realizada por más de 200 chefs internacionales y superando a 951 alimentos y bebidas Premium de todo el planeta.

and people still confuses iberian ham with the cheaper serrano ham jajjaja even in "spanish restaurants" in the foreign countries is a TRAPPP
Serrano is for working classes and plebs, iberico is for aristocracy and royalty
Nunca lo e privado
Hello
Hi there 👋
meat caveee !!!
Very interesting. Like everyone, I love iberico ham. But I do think its a shame this piece didnt include the slaughter process. I had hoped that perhaps in case of these iberico pigs, the same care went into the slaughter and was worthy to share.
I'd imagine it's the usual shock them, hang them and cut the throat. I'd imagine anyway.
Thanks for watching our video. There are several reasons why we didn't include the slaugter process. One of them was that the pigs simply weren't slaughtered during the time we produced the report.
@@DWFood thanks for replying and elaborating. 👍
@@Warrior_warlock Pleasure 👍
There's always a debate about the morality of meat consumption. But considering what I know from high grade Iberico, I suspect those are some of the most "humanely" (so to speak) raised pigs around. Sadly, nowadays most animals don't have the possibility to eat natural foods and walk around. If it's acorn-fed, which is limited to the expensive one, it's pretty much assured that the pig had better living conditions than most farm animals. Still, I understand any moral qualms about meat consumption
Its not a secret ..
"Imagine if it was cut badly, wgat a disappointment it'd be" preceeds to cut into really small badly cut peices.
I mean who wants to eat it like that seriously
You sound ignorant
this stuff is good but the way these dudes take it way too seriously is overdone. they acting like its the most delicate and delicious process known to man. its good but its ham.
This is delicatessen…
I hace ested im spanish
the first step is the salting!?? ...butcher, cut ..no?
Serrano ham IS NOT IBERIAN HAM people, be aware with prieces lol
Cut one of these in a spiral and you’re getting put out of your misery.
What happens to the rest of the pig?
The only sad thing about the wonderful Spanish Countryside:
DW calls Anselmo a Pig Farmer, but hey just says he looks after the Finca, it isn´t his
Spain had never have a real landreform like the rest of Europe. In a big part thanks to Franco there a still huge Latifundios owned by Nobles or other rich, especially in the south of Spain: Extremadura, La Mancha, Andalucía. (in the North it´s historically small farmers, that´s why the north historically is also more conservative)
At the same time the Villages in this Areas are very poor - 40% -50% (seasonal) unemployment - huge poverty - problems with crimes. Especially the southern part of spain exports a lot if agricultural products (ham, grain, olive oil, oranges), but the money goes to the big landowners and doesn´t stay in the villages.
So Anselmo very probably gets a really bad wage for european standards and the product he produces (still one of the best in his village though). The Money from this expensive ham goes to some degenerate Landowner sitting in his big appartement in this City
Spain... maybe the only country in Europe were parts of feudalism have survived into the modern Age..
Thanks for the insight; I had no idea of the lack of a spanish landreform and the resulting aftereffects.
Shut up with your politics.
There are way more millionares and billionares in other EU countries
@@tuabuelita so what you're saying is that wealth is concentrated in fewer hands than other countries?
