This is an Iberian ham made from the 'Manchado de Jabugo' strain of Iberian pig, classified as endangered. Hence its exorbitant price. According to data handled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment, at present there are only "30 females (27 of them breeding) and 17 males (7 breeding) registered in the Genealogical Book of the breed."
This acorn-fed ham is certified organic and its production is much more expensive than other hams, even traditional Iberian ham, because the pigs need more time to fatten and their hams need more time to cure.
The Ibericomio company has this Iberian ham from Jabugo for sale on its website, with delivery in "2/4 days", for 4,962 euros for a piece between 7 and 9 kilos, according to a report be El Economista As on other pages, the option of receiving it sliced or boneless is offered.
