Iberico Fermin Dinner

IBÉRICO

One of Spain's national treasures and we have it at our fingertips here in Portland, OR.

Have you ever tried Jamon de Bellota?

The flavor is unforgettable, packed with Omega-3s and it melts in your mouth! The traditional methods of production of this most spectacular of hams, along with the rigorous standards of the Denomination of Origin imposed on those who choose to farm the Iberico pigs are so strict that the resulting ham deserves its place alongside caviar, truffles and champagne in the upper echelons of cuisine.

Jamon Iberico de Bellota is prized for its unique taste, created in part by the aroma of sweet acorns that the pigs feed on ("bellota" means "acorn"). Iberico pigs must graze under Encina oak trees, because their acorns give the pigs fat a rich, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The salt curing of the meat and the three years of aging that follows makes for a taste that lingers like a fine wine. It's a true Spanish national treasure we get to serve to you on the daily.

This dinner will be one to remember!
The grandson of Fermín Iberico will be joining us to share memories of the Fermin legacy and slice ham for tasting. Chef Jose Chesa and Sous Chef Abel Mendoza from CHESA will showcase Fermín Ibérico products with dishes inspired from different corners of the world!
