Hand-carved plate of 100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham

If you are not at home when your 100% Ibérico Bellota Ham (from Carrasco) arrives and you do not have access to a refrigerator, keep it in a place away from direct sunlight, warm drafts, or heat sources. Minimize the time it spends unrefrigerated. If you are at home when it arrives, store it in a refrigerator at a temperature between 0°C and 5°C. If you do not intend to consume the entire portion at once, wrap the opened package in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator at the aforementioned temperature.

Before consuming the 100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham platter, we recommend removing it from the refrigerator and leaving it in its unopened packaging for at least 20 minutes to allow it to reach room temperature. Once that time has passed, open the package and enjoy the flavor of this 100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham—ready to serve and hand-carved by our master ham carvers.

Purchase a 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham Platter: your essential daily indulgence, ready to serve.
If you are looking for a ham platter that tastes like it was just freshly sliced, this is the perfect format: carefully selected, hand-carved slices, ready to serve at any moment. At Carrasco, we have been crafting 100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham for over 125 years. This platter is prepared using ham from our own “Carrasco” breed (with both sire and dam being 100% Ibérico), renowned for its deep red color, subtle sweetness, and perfectly balanced saltiness. The platter is packaged in a protective atmosphere, designed to preserve its texture and aroma. I have just one recommendation: let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before opening—you will truly experience the full expression of the ham.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should the ham be arranged for an ideal presentation?
With a Carrasco ham platter, you don’t need to worry about plating—it comes ready to serve. Just ensure it reaches room temperature before opening so you can fully enjoy its texture and flavor. For an extra special touch, serve it alongside artisanal breadsticks (*picos*) or nuts.

What defines a 100% Ibérico acorn-fed ham? The ham in our pre-sliced ​​portions comes from 100% Iberian pigs (both sire and dam) that were fed on acorns during the *montanera* (acorn season). The ham is cured for the precise amount of time required to develop its signature aroma and flavor profile.

How many grams are in a portion of ham?
A portion of ham typically contains between 80 and 120 grams of product, depending on the specific format.

How should a portion of ham be stored at home?
The ham should be kept refrigerated. Once opened, it is best consumed the same day to ensure you enjoy all its qualities.

Is pre-portioned ham as good as freshly sliced ​​ham?
Yes—provided it is hand-sliced ​​and packaged correctly, as we do at Carrasco Ibéricos. We take great care throughout this process to ensure the ham retains its original quality.

Iberian ham: flavor, slicing, and presentation
A high-quality serving of ham depends not only on the product itself, but also on how it is sliced, how the slices are arranged, and when it is consumed. At Carrasco, we pay close attention to each of these details so that the ham retains its texture, aroma, and perfect balance on the palate. Hand-slicing produces thin, uniform slices; this respects the ham’s natural fibers and allows the fat to melt delicately upon contact with the palate. For this reason, our Iberian ham portions are always prepared by hand by expert professionals. Furthermore, the presentation is designed so that you can serve it directly to the table—ensuring a refined and elegant appearance, whether for casual gatherings or special occasions. { “@context”: “https://schema.org”, “@graph”: [ { “@type”: “Organization”, “@id”: “https://carrascoibericos.com/#organization”, “name”: “Carrasco Ibéricos”, “url”: “https://carrascoibericos.com”, “logo”: “https://carrascoibericos.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/logo-carrasco-dark.png”, “contactPoint”: { “@type”: “ContactPoint”, “telephone”: “+34 923 580 420”, “contactType”: “Customer Service”, “email”: “atencion.cliente@carrascoibericos.com”, “areaServed”: “ES” }, “address”: { “@type”: “PostalAddress”, “streetAddress”: “C/ Príncipe Felipe, 25”, “addressLocality”: “Guijuelo”, “addressRegion”: “Salamanca”, “postalCode”: “37770”, “addressCountry”: “ES” }, “sameAs”: [ “https://www.instagram.com/carrascoiberico/”, “https://www.facebook.com/CarrascoIberico/?locale=es_LA” ] }, { “@type”: “FAQPage”, “@id”: “https://carrascoibericos.com/p/plato-de-jamon/#faq”, “mainEntity”: [ { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How should the ham be arranged for a proper presentation?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “With a Carrasco ham platter, you don’t need to worry about the presentation—it comes ready to serve.
