If you haven't had the pleasure of eating Jamón Ibérico de Bellota yet, I recommend a visit to Europe (if not Spain, which is itself delightful) and eating some. It has a rich, sensational, incomparable flavor. Even the best Jamón Serrano you can get in the US pales in comparison.
Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to import lawfully into the US because of some nonsensical laws: the USDA has to inspect and approve even foreign meat producers, even if they are otherwise deemed safe by governments we also trust.
- martin8412 5y agoI love Jamón Serrano, living in Spain I eat it quite often, though personally I’m more partial to Lomo which is more meaty
- devilbunny 5y agoNo connection to them, other than being a satisfied customer, but latienda.com does import Iberico de Bellota. Probably not the very finest of it, but it is the real deal. You can also get it from cincojotas.us , which is the website of one of the best-regarded producers. Getting a snack-sized portion is somewhat more difficult, but if you have a really good Spanish restaurant nearby, they should have something like this on the menu.
