Joselito Vintage Sliced Ham 100% Natural
Discover the extraordinary depth of Joselito Vintage Ham sliced, an exceptional selection with more than eight years of natural curing. --- Joselito Vintage Sliced Ham Joselito Vintage Sliced Ham represents one of the most exclusive expressions of the historic Guijuelo house. It comes from exceptional pieces carefully selected to extend their maturation for more than 96 months, developing aromatic complexity, a silky texture, and a depth of flavor hard to find in a conventional ham. Presented in a 70 g blister pack ready to enjoy, this format allows you to savor an extraordinary vintage without needing to buy or cut a whole piece. Each slice reveals the effect of time on the ham: deeper aromas, delicately melting fat, and an intense, elegant, and extraordinarily persistent flavor. What Joselito Vintage means The Vintage collection is reserved for a minimal selection of hams capable of withstanding an exceptionally prolonged maturation. Each piece is individually evaluated and kept in Joselito’s natural cellars until it reaches its optimal moment of expression. As with great wine vintages, the conditions of the dehesa, climate, and feeding during each montanera imprint a different character on the ham. The result is a unique product that reflects a specific year and more than eight years of evolution in the cellar. Characteristics of Joselito Vintage Ham Its meat shows shades ranging from intense pink to purple-red, accompanied by fine streaks of shiny fat. On the palate, it offers an extremely delicate and creamy texture, with aromatic fat that melts slowly and releases sweet, salty, and umami nuances. The prolonged curing provides an extraordinary aromatic concentration while maintaining the characteristic balance and elegance of Joselito. Its persistence allows you to appreciate new nuances even after finishing each slice.
