I live in Spain - a lot of jamon still in shops, prices are the same. Glad to see people of China love it, but there is no shortage of jamon, definitely.

- dazc 9y agoBut not all jamon is the same , apparently. Not, alas, to my typical Northern English palette though.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoNo probably not, and I hope the name is protected so substandard mass produced stuff is clearly marked as such.
- virgilp 9y agoNo, it's not. You're going to find it very hard to get Jamón Ibérico de Bellota outside Spain - from what I saw, they mostly export the jamón serrano. I'm pretty sure you can make the difference between the two - though, to be completely honest, it's not THAT big and I'm not sure it's worth the price difference.
- baby 9y agoYou always have nice and expensive jamon iberico de bellota restaurants in France. It’s good! If you’re in Lyon there is one in les halles de bocuse
- bambax 9y agoYou can find it in some supermarkets too, at least in Paris. There is even a chain of stores named after bellota that mostly sells it (and a little caviar too): https://www.bellota-bellota.com/en/magasins https://www.bellota-bellota.com/en/magasins It is, indeed, an exceptional product. IMHO, nothing comes close (in that category of products).
- EugeneOZ 9y agoYes, but still: I buy jamon leg almost every week, it’s always Iberica, and I’m sure there is a lot of Iberica Bellota in shops. You are welcome to check it yourself :)
- eighthnate 9y agoIt's just another guardian clickbait. No shortage of that unfortunately.
