Apperance:
Brilliant and uniform, with excellent fat coverage.
Ham slices are deep red in colour, spotted by tyrosine, the amino acid that crystallises as a result of an excellent curing process.
Texture:
Juicy texture, very pleasant in the mouth.
Tender but firm: it preserves its structure while chewed.
Aroma:
Potent, pleasant, specific, attractive aromas. Long-lasting, very marked and clear.
At the base, there are very frank notes of fresh nuts.
Taste:
A fine, personal, balanced, tasty flavour. This is an elegant ham, its key flavours are already present while still in mid-palate.
The excellent balance in terms of salt reveals some adequate, light and clear sweet notes which tone down the typical bitter spots with great precision.
