Although both share the essence of the Iberian breed, cebo and acorn-fed hams have clear differences that affect their quality and flavor.
Cebo Iberian ham comes from pigs raised on farms or feedlots, fed mainly with natural feed. Its flavor is mild, and its price more affordable, making it an ideal choice for everyday consumption.
On the other hand, acorn-fed Iberian ham comes from pigs raised freely in the dehesa, feeding during the montanera season on acorns and natural grasses. This type of rearing provides greater fat marbling, a more intense aroma, and a richer, more complex flavor.
Both are excellent options within the Iberian world, but knowing these differences will help you choose the one that best suits your tastes and occasions.
