This is probably the best jamon I had while in Barcelona. I'm just sad that I discovered it on my last day in the city. My boyfriend and I were hungry, and were looking for a small snack, while we waited for a tapas place to open. We found this, which was nearby and a small plate of jamon Iberico. It says small, but it was plenty for two people. It was thinly sliced, unlike the jamon cups served at the Boqueria Market (which I am now thinking that everything there are probably tourist traps). It also wasn't too fatty, which I liked. The person slicing the jamon (butcher? jamon connoisseur?) let us try a piece of something else he was slicing, which I thought was really nice of him.
I believe they can ship their products to you, so now I'm kind of wishing that I had done that. Oh well, I guess this just means I'll have to go back to Spain! read more
