Fermin Products

The Fermin Products Collection brings together a selection of Spain's classic dry-cured specialties, made with premium Iberico pork and inspired by generations of Spanish charcuterie tradition. Located in La Alberca, Spain, Fermin is recognized as the first Iberico producer to export its products to the United States and is known for traditional curing techniques, carefully selected ingredients, and a strong connection to Spanish culinary heritage.

Using traditional Spanish methods, each product is fully cured and ready to serve. The acorn-fed selections are produced from free-range Iberico pigs that graze in the dehesa and consume acorns during the montanera season. This natural diet contributes to the characteristic nutty flavor, rich marbling, and silky texture associated with premium Iberico products.

The chorizo and salchichón offer a different expression of Iberico pork, combining the richness of the meat with smoky paprika, pepper, and aromatic spices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes 100% Iberico Acorn-Fed products special?

A: These products come from purebred Iberico pigs that are raised free-range and feed on acorns during the montanera season. This contributes to their distinctive nutty flavor, generous marbling, and luxurious texture.

Q: Are these products ready to eat?

A: Yes. Every item in this collection is fully dry-cured and ready to enjoy.

Q: What is the difference between the ham and the loin?

A: The ham has a richer marbling, silkier texture, and more complex flavor, while the loin is leaner and firmer with a cleaner taste and gentle seasoning.

Q: What is the difference between chorizo and salchichón?
