Bone-in Jamón de Bellota
Blázquez is the leading producer in the Salamanca area, home to the Guijuelo Designation of Origin, historically the first to be established in Spain: ham from this region is characterized by a delicate, fruity, and sweet flavor. The term bellota comes from the food that Iberian pigs are most fond of, namely acorns (bellotas): wide open spaces, very few pigs free to graze in herds, acorns rich in oleic acid, which gives their meat a unique flavor for one of the most extraordinary taste experiences ever.
Blázquez, in compliance with regulations, works with selected 100% pure Iberian females, with their unmistakable flavor and genetic peculiarity of assimilating oleic acid, and 100% Duroc and Iberian males, which give that extra bit of internal fat and, consequently, delicacy to the taste.
The hams are cured using traditional methods handed down from generation to generation: the hams (jamones) and shoulders (paletas) are trimmed before being salted. A pyramid is formed with layers of hams and whole sea salt. To ensure that all the meat is evenly salted, Blázquez employees move the hams that were on top the day before to the bottom, rotating their position in the pyramid. This process takes a different amount of time each time: the perfect moment to move on to the drying phase is determined by the expertise and experience gained through years of craftsmanship. The hams lose their initial moisture in the secaderos—humidity and temperature-controlled cold rooms—for about three weeks.
In spring, the hams are transferred to the upper floors of the factories where the natural secaderos are located.
These are very large rooms where the jamones will spend the whole summer and lose most of their weight as they dry. In autumn, the hams are taken to the cellar where they will complete the curing process: a very slow maturation that will make them the gastronomic excellence that can never be missing from any banquet.

On the surroundings of Salamanca, the Blázquez family founded the ham company in 1932, based on the artisan knowledge of that time: still today it is a family-run business with almost 90 years of tradition in producing one of the most iconic Iberian excellences, namely patanegra. Controlled genetics, selection criteria based on teachings passed down from generation to generation, and a self-produced diet are the secrets still guarded by the third generation: from the year of its founding to today Jamones Blázquez remains faithful to its natural and traditional processes.
