Julián Becerro Hams

Julián Becerro Iberian acorn-fed hams, originating from Salamanca, are a world-renowned gourmet product.

• Flavor and Texture: The ham has an intense and complex flavor, with notes of acorns and wild herbs. The texture is soft and creamy, with a fat that melts in the mouth.
• Origin: The Guijuelo Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), the area where these pigs are raised, guarantees the quality and authenticity of the product.
