PrintFree Jamon Iberico de Bellota? Maybe Pigs Can Fly
Ibérico ham in Spain.
What's better than free expensive champagne and Iranian caviar? Free jamón ibérico de bellota! That's right. On Thursday afternoon from 3 to 7 p.m. at the new Murray's Real Salami at the Grand Central Market, a representative from Spanish food importer Fermin will be giving away slices of what is the best ham on earth. Here's an excerpt from the press release:
A representative from Fermin, the only company with FDA approval to export jamón ibérico de bellota from Spain, will provide free hand-sliced samples of this beluga caviar of cured meats to market shoppers. Retailing for $99.99 a pound at Murray’s Real Salami (one of the least expensive prices in town), jamón ibérico de bellota is produced from an ancient breed of black pigs that roam along the Southern border between Spain and Portugal, feasting exclusively on acorns. The meat is prized for its rich, nutty flavor, the product of the animal’s diet and the 36-month aging process the hams get.
If you have never tried it, you owe it to yourself to get to Murray's on Thursday.
