Hams are the most widely recognised part of the pig. They come from the two hind thighs of the pig which are bursting with meat. Each and every Don Cala ham is a unique piece straight from the natural curing cellars of Guijuelo (Salamanca). Its delicate and distinctive flavour surpasses even the most demanding expectations of Spanish cuisine. Discover our 4 ranges of 100% home-made hams and delight those you love the most with the aroma of the best freshly cut ham in the world.
The preparation of our ham
Once the pig is reared during the acorn season on the finest pasture lands in Spain between Guijuelo and Ciudad Rodrigo the careful hand crafting of each piece begins. The key phases of preparation of our Don Cala hams are the salting, washing, natural drying and finally the curing in our Salamanca cellars.
The meticulous selection of each piece, family knowledge and curing time, are all essential elements to guarantee the best quality possible.
Our Reserva selection comes from pigs reared freely in a natural environment and fed with an exquisite diet based on grasses, cereal crops and cork oak acorns. Curing times are: 36 months for ham and 24 months for the shoulder.
Upon cutting an attractive cherry red colour is revealed with good marbling and a delightful lustre (both in the lean and fat) which are all characteristics of its high quality. Its flavour is delightful, sweet and intense in equal measure. For all tastes.
Sliced: Our sliced hams and shoulders come in vacuum packed sachets and weigh 80 grams. The perfect amount to eat before it can begin to dry out. Simply open and serve, to enjoy the unique, fresh and exquisite taste of Guijuelo directly to your table.
Here at Don Cala, we want you to enjoy our Spanish artisan products in all their glory, that’s why we offer you various alternatives so you can choose which gastronomic experience suits you best.
Whole Pieces: If you are already a ham expert and have all the necessary tools, then there is nothing better than one of our whole pieces to enjoy a freshly cut slice of ham or shoulder. A whole ham weighs around 8 kg compared to a shoulder which weighs around 5.5 kg.
Boneless: Here at Don Cala you can also buy our hams and shoulders already boned by our master craftsmen. A boneless ham weighs around 4.5 kg compared to a boneless shoulder which is around 2.5 kg. You simply slice it to whichever thickness you prefer and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
