Spanish Jamón is unique in the world. It is made from the limbs of the white pig or the Iberian pig, cured in salt and dried in natural cellars by expert ham makers who follow a long tradition passed down from generation to generation.
Spanish Jamón can be classified according to breed and feed. The white breed is the common pig or Duroc, with which the Enrique Tomás Jamón Gran Reserva is made and as an adult, basically vitaminised feed and cereals. This type of ham is commonly known as Jamón Serrano, but our Serrano is better than those available on the market.
The Iberian breed, unique in the world for its genetic qualities and its breeding in the Iberian Peninsula. As for the food, there are several types, in Enrique Tomás you will find two types of the best quality: the Jamón de Campo Ibérico and the Jamón Bellota Ibérico Premium. Both are of the Iberian breed, they come from the same Iberian pig, but the former has been reared on a farm and in the countryside and the latter has spent the last months of its adult life in the Spanish pasture where it has enjoyed the acorns and grazed at its leisure.
To know which is the best, if you don't know them well, the ideal thing is to try them all and then the one you like the most will be the best. At Enrique Tomás we know that the best Jamón is the one that delights your palate when you try it, regardless of price or variety. The important thing is that, whatever it is, you buy the best quality in its range.

Jamón is eaten at any time of day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And of course as an afternoon snack. Depending on the time of day, it can be eaten as a sandwich, in cubes as a tapa, in slices as an appetiser, as ham shavings with a soup or a salad. You can enjoy it all the time, just choose the format that suits you best at the time of day and depending on the dish.
If you know Spanish Jamón/ham well, you have notions of slicing and you like slicing, and there are several of you at home, then go ahead with the whole piece that you like best.
Above all, we recommend that before you start slicing if you haven't done it for a long time or if you have little practice, watch one of our videos on our youtube channel where we explain and you will see how to slice both a ham and a shoulder.
On the other hand, if there are few of you at home, you don't know Jamón very well and you want to try it, we recommend that you start by buying a few vacuum sealed sachets of different types and try and compare them to see which one you like best.
From the best suppliers and producers of sau in the Iberian Peninsula, because we only want to offer the best raw material, the best quality to our customers.
No, none of our online sausages need to be cooked to be consumed, they are all cured and ready to eat without cooking. They can be used in already cooked dishes to accompany and garnish or to make sauces, such as chorizo, for example.
If the cured meats are vacuum-packed and the ambient temperature is cool and constant, as it can be in a pantry, or in a cool, dry place, it is possible to keep them for several days, even weeks. Of course, the temperature should not fluctuate too much because sudden changes in temperature affect the vacuum packaging. Of course, always check the expiry date.
Likewise, when the vacuum is removed, it should be consumed completely within a few hours, otherwise it should be kept in the fridge, as it begins to lose its properties and oxidise when it comes into contact with air. It is best not to leave it in the fridge for many days, as it will lose aroma and taste intensity.
In the online shop you will find them all in pieces of different sizes and weights or sliced in 80g sachets and vacuum-packed.
As with everything in life, excesses are not usually good for anything, even in things that are a priori healthy, such as sport, if we overdo it, it can also harm us. The right measure is always the right thing to enjoy it without it harming us and giving us gastronomic and emotional pleasure: who doesn't enjoy a plate of good charcuterie, and if it has Iberian ham, even better? Of course, always consult your doctor in case of doubt, specific pathology or diet that advises against it.
