Jamón Ibérico: Spain’s Finest Flavour on Your Table

Jamón Ibérico is more than a cured ham — it’s a celebration of time, tradition, and taste. Revered for its marbled texture and rich, nutty depth, it represents the pinnacle of Spanish charcuterie.

At Tapas Me The Plate, we proudly serve Jamón Ibérico sourced directly from Ibéricos Benitos, a third-generation producer in Arahal, Andalucía. No middlemen, no compromises — just artisan quality, straight from the source.

🐖 Who Are Ibéricos Benitos?

What makes this partnership so special?

  • They raise their own Ibérico pigs on natural pasture and acorns.

  • They operate their own drying facilities, ensuring complete quality control.

  • Their production is rooted in family heritage, spanning three generations of craftsmanship.

We work directly with them — cutting out distributors — to bring this incredible product to private events, tasting menus, and soon, to our online shop.

🧂 Why Jamón Ibérico Is So Unique

There are cured hams, and then there’s Jamón Ibérico. Its flavour comes from:

  • The pig’s diet: acorns, grass, and grains depending on the grade

  • Long curing times — often up to 36 months

  • High oleic fat (like in olive oil), which gives it that signature melt-in-the-mouth texture

Whether served thinly sliced as a starter, laid over toasted pan con tomate, or folded into warm croquetas — its versatility is as impressive as its taste.

🍽️ How We Serve It

We slice Jamón Ibérico by hand at:

  • Private dinners

  • Hen parties

  • Wedding receptions

  • Tapas-style tasting menus

It often features as part of our signature grazing boards or with a glass of dry sherry as part of a Spanish aperitivo.
