Animal welfare

At Aljomar, we hold the Welfair animal welfare certificate . This certificate guarantees animal welfare throughout our entire production process, from the raising of Iberian pigs on our farms to the processes in our factory, ensuring the use of good practices throughout the food chain.

Conservation

To preserve Iberian ham in optimal condition, the following recommendations should be followed:

1. If the pallet is vacuum-packed or wrapped in any type of material that obstructs the passage of air, it must be unwrapped so that the piece can be in contact with the air and breathe.

2. It is essential that Iberian ham be stored in a cool, dry place , away from direct sunlight. Places where sudden temperature changes may occur, such as kitchens, are not recommended; cellars or storage rooms are much more suitable.

3. Storage method : the most appropriate way is for the palette to be hung entirely from a ring or a string so that the air reaches all corners of the piece as homogeneously as possible.

4. If your intention is to refrain from consuming this piece of Iberian ham for a considerable period of time , it is best to wipe the piece every two weeks with a cloth coated in oil, gently spreading it over the entire leg.

5. Another of the best known and traditionally used methods for its optimal preservation consists of covering the shoulder once opened with some slices of the side bacon (slices that must have been previously stored).
