Joe Riley Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I ran across this, and it sounds intriguing to me. Has anyone tried it? http://www.ibericosmaldonado.com/ingles/productos7.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beto Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I ran across this, and it sounds intriguing to me. Has anyone tried it? http://www.ibericosmaldonado.com/ingles/productos7.htm As far as I know, the only company that exports jamón ibérico de bellotas is Fermin. With many thanks to the efforts of José Andrés, Rogers International imports what many consider the finest ham on the planet. If you want to try it, Jaleo is serving it.

lackadaisi Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 If you want to try it, Jaleo is serving it. We tried it this weekend, and it was amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many thanks to the efforts of José Andrés, Rogers International imports what many consider the finest ham on the planet.If you want to try it, Jaleo is serving it. The de bellota type hasn't been imported yet. It needs a little more time to cure, so it is one of the lesser forms of the Iberico at Jaleo. The lesser is going for around $52/lb, and the de bellota is going for about twice that amount. But they are made from happy, free-range, acorn-eating piggies.

Scott Johnston Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 excuse me, at $52 a pound who is happy again??? The de bellota type hasn't been imported yet.

Al Dente Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hola from Spain... Eat your cholesterol-laden hearts out!! The best I've had so far was a 56-month cured bellota DO. All of you MUST hit the Boqueria market in Barcelona! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Slater Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 excuse me, at $52 a pound who is happy again??? I bought some today at Dean & Deluca. It was marked $87 a pound. I ordered a quarter pound and giggled when the clerk put the sticker on that said $4.69. Conscience made me point out the mistake. It was worth every penny. Incredibly delicious, tender, haunting. This is definitely worth the splurge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a quarter pound and giggled when the clerk put the sticker on that said $4.69. Conscience made me point out the mistake. It was worth every penny. Incredibly delicious, tender, haunting. This is definitely worth the splurge. I had some for lunch on New Year's Eve. It was part of a remakable charcuterie (and cheese) selection at the Cheesemonger on Main Street in Great Barrington, MA. I polished off a 1/4 pound of it (at $90 a pound), and a 1/4 pound of Pio Tosini prosciutto (at $30 a pound). I loved the jamon - it had an element of that toro/kobe butteriness that I've never found in other jamon or prosciutto - but I would be hard pressed to say it was that much more enjoyable than the Pio Tosini.

mtpleasanteater Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I bought some from Dean & Deluca in Georgetown today to share with my family & we all thought it was great. While I was in there I noticed that they have white truffles for only $7,000.00 a pound, which makes any $150.00 supplementary charge on a tasting menu seem like a steal.
