Bone-In Jamón Ibérico Ham by Fermín - FREE SHIPPING!

Jamón Ibérico is one of Spain's culinary treasures. The thin slices of ham have a deep, complex flavor, beautiful marbling and a surprisingly mild salt level. Once only available in Spain's finest restaurants, you can now enjoy this incredible ham in your home.

Each ham is aged in the cool mountain air for over two years in the beautiful village of La Alberca. Under the watchful eye of the ham masters at Jamones Fermín, the hams cure in special curing rooms, and eventually lose over 40% of their weight as much of the fat melts away.

This Jamón Ibérico is made from the pasture-raised cerdo ibérico black pigs that are fed a diet of grasses and high-quality grain (as opposed to acorns, or ‘bellota’). Cured for more than two years by the masters at Embutidos y Jamones Fermín, the resulting jamón is dark ruby red, with streaks of white fat adding flavor and texture to the slices.

Serve very thin slices on a warm plate to bring out the ham's complex flavor, along with some good bread and a glass of fine red wine or a cool glass of dry sherry.

Fermín was the first Ibérico ham to earn entry into the U.S. Situated in the picturesque mountain village of La Alberca in the province of Salamanca, the curing rooms enjoy the ideal climate for curing exquisite hams.

What is jamón?

Jamón is Spain’s prized slow-aged ham, known for its deep red color, firm texture, and rich flavor.

How should jamón be served?

Jamón should always be served at room temperature to enjoy its fullest flavor.

How do I store a whole bone-in jamón before slicing?

Keep it in the refrigerator in its original packaging for 2–3 months or until the best-by date.

What should I do before carving into a whole jamón?

A day or two before slicing, remove it from the packaging and let it sit uncut at room temperature on a ham holder or hang it using the rope provided.

Is mold on the exterior of the ham a concern?

Not at all—harmless white mold can appear on cured hams and may be removed with a cloth and olive oil.

What are the white crystals in jamón?

They are amino acids formed during the aging process—common in premium hams and cheeses—and are completely safe to eat.

How do I store my jamón after slicing?

Place it on a ham holder in a cool, dark place and store for 6 to 8 weeks. Cover the cut surface with reserved fat, wrap in plastic, and drape with a light breathable cloth.

Can I slice any section of the ham?

Only slice sections you plan to eat within a few days. Do not remove the fat or skin from unsliced parts—they protect the ham from drying out.

How do I store leftover chunks?

Chunks of ham can be tightly wrapped and kept in the refrigerator or freezer for longer-term storage.

How much sliced jamón does a whole ham yield?

A whole bone-in jamón yields approximately 9 to 10 pounds of sliced meat.
