Iberico de Bellota Ham Sliced by Hand (2 oz). GLUTEN FREE by Fermin

I can't understand why anyone would write a bad review on this. It's so delicious that I can't eat any other kind of cured ham now. It melts in your mouth. I'm addicted to it. Regardless of the price I've bought 3 packs this month so far and it's only the middle of the month.

DO NOT BUY THIS. The meat inside was slimy and gooey. You could not pull it apart to serve so it broke up into tiny pieces. It also tasted terrible. i requested a refund and Amazon fulfilled the request.

This works out to be about $200 a pound, so it is a treat we get about every 2 months. Iberico ham that is acorn-fed is one of the treats in life worth having. If you have a chance go to Spain and get it in a shop as its carved off of the ham leg. One shop in Barcelona put it on bread and it was my morning breakfast everyday.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my youngest granddaughter who did a study aboard in Barcelona and raved about ham there. She said this product missed the mark on flavor as she remembered. Didn’t taste bad but didn’t taste authentic.

I was excited to try the Iberico de Bellota Ham, expecting it to stand out because of its reputation and price. While it was good, it didn’t quite meet my expectations.Taste and TextureThe ham had a slightly sweet undertone, which I wasn’t expecting. I usually enjoy cured ham, but I thought the flavor would be more intense or complex, considering it’s Iberico. For me, it didn’t justify the premium price tag.Quantity vs. ValueThe portion size was smaller than I anticipated, especially given the cost. While the packaging was well-done and kept the product fresh, the overall value felt lacking.Final ThoughtsIf you’re looking for a high-quality ham and enjoy a slightly sweeter flavor profile, this could be a good option. However, if you’re used to other cured hams, you might find this one underwhelming for the price. Personally, I wouldn’t repurchase.

The jamon was packaged well and of good quality. Very fresh and reminded me of my visit to Spain. Certainly a nice alternative to buying a full leg to carve ... So, a nice gift ... or a special "occasion" snack. If you're planning to entertain with a larger group of people, or will "hit" this on the regular, investing in a "carve-able" piece would probably be ideal (not to mention the awesomeness of carving it!)--since this package could probably be stretched out to a few people at most ... before a riot sets in by those wanting more. Needless to say, it's nice to be able to purchase "Iberico de Bellota," essentially, on demand without having to cross the pond to get it.

It was so bad, it was like eating salty plastic rubberI took a few pieces and threw away the restWhat a waste of money

Two stars for this being partially edible. I'm not sure if I got a bad cut, but I was unable to chew through part of each piece and had to spit it out. This was really disappointing considering the expense. I was expecting a much better cut of meat.
