Can You Buy Iberian Ham in Canada?

Yes, you can buy Iberian ham from the Solfarmers catalog in Canada. The useful questions are which category you want, how much you will serve and whether you prefer sliced ham or a piece to carve.

Choose a format

  • Sliced packs are convenient for a first tasting and a small appetizer plate.
  • Boneless pieces suit buyers who want to slice their own ham without working around the bone.
  • Whole bone-in legs require a secure holder, appropriate knives and a plan for storage and serving.

Read the label before comparing prices

Check the producer, breed percentage, feeding category, curing information and weight. Bellota, cebo de campo and cebo are distinct feeding categories. Serrano is a different category of Spanish cured ham; it is not a synonym for Iberian ham.

Ordering and storage

Read the current product page for shipping restrictions and refrigeration requirements. Some products need express shipping. Do not infer a universal delivery time or shelf life from the word “cured”. Follow the actual package instructions before and after opening.

Serving your first pack

Serve thin slices with bread or picos, olives and a small cheese selection. Start with modest portions and compare two clearly labelled ham categories if you want a side-by-side tasting.
