Jamón 7 Bellotas® 50% Ibérico

Acorn-Fed Ibérico Ham 7 Bellotas®

The perfect balance between Ibérico tradition and acorn excellence

The Acorn-Fed 50% Ibérico Breed Ham 7 Bellotas® stems from a simple philosophy: respect nature, tradition, and time.

It comes from 50% Ibérico breed pigs raised free-range in the dehesa oak woodlands of western Spain and fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera season. Each ham develops a silky texture, extraordinarily unctuous fat, and an elegant aroma that reflects the authentic character of acorn-fed Ibérico ham.

100% Artisanal Preparation

At 7 Bellotas, we craft our acorn-fed hams just as previous generations did. Each piece is individually selected before undergoing traditional salting and slow aging in our natural drying rooms in Salamanca.

We do not accelerate curing through industrial systems. Each ham stays for as long as necessary until our master cellarman determines it has reached its peak point.

Technical Data

What sets 7 Bellotas apart?

We select only pieces from artisanal production, ensuring each ham is only sold when it reaches its absolute peak of maturity, rather than following a fixed commercial calendar.

Why is acorn feeding crucial?

The acorn-rich diet during the montanera, combined with free-range exercise, creates a unique fat profile rich in oleic acid, providing the ham's characteristic silkiness and aromatic complexity.

How to preserve the ham once opened?

Store in a cool, dry place. Protect the cut surface with its own fat layers and a clean cotton cloth, allowing it to reach room temperature before serving.
