Jamón Ibérico de Cebo vs Jamón Ibérico de Bellota

The primary difference between Jamón Ibérico de Cebo and Jamón Ibérico de Bellota lies in the pigs' diet and the resulting flavor and quality of the ham. Jamón Ibérico de Cebo is sourced from pigs that are mainly fed on cereals and grains, producing a ham with a pleasant but simpler taste. In contrast, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota comes from pigs that roam freely and primarily eat acorns (bellotas) and natural pastures, particularly during the montanera season. This acorn-based diet gives Bellota ham a more complex and intense flavor, with a higher fat content that penetrates the muscle, making the ham exceptionally tender and aromatic.
