”Jamón Ibérico is a product highly respected for its culture, history and elaboration. I am impressed by the love and passion they have for Spanish culture.
Jamón Ibérico is a product of the highest quality, with such a special elaboration process that I am impressed by this exceptional way of representing an entire country. I am thrilled to be a part of this project and honored to use it in my preparations. I can integrate it into my kitchen with toasted bread and saffron aioli, but its flavour is so pure and exquisite that it doesn’t require complex preparations”.
