Spanish ham is one of the most appreciated delicacies worldwide, but not all hams are the same. If you're looking for authentic quality, you're probably wondering: what's the difference between the ham offered by Solfarmers and the “Costco Spanish Ham”? Here we explain it to you.
1. Origin and quality of the raw material
Solfarmers: Our ham comes from pigs raised in Spain, where centuries-old traditions are respected. We guarantee a supervised process from the origin to the final product, selecting only pieces of superior quality.
Costco Spanish Ham: Although labeled as “Spanish ham,” it does not always provide details about the exact origin or breeding conditions of the pigs. This can affect the quality and authenticity of the product.
2. Curing process
Solfarmers: We use traditional curing methods, with long curing times that allow us to develop the ideal flavor and texture. Each ham undergoes a careful process in natural drying sheds.
Costco Spanish Ham: Curing tends to be faster to reduce costs, which can result in less complex flavors and a different texture.
3. Flavor and gastronomic experience
Solfarmers: Our ham and iberico ham offers a unique balance of sweetness and saltiness, with nuances that can only be achieved with an artisanal process. It is ideal for those seeking a high-end dining experience.
Costco Spanish Ham: Although it meets the standards of an accessible product, its flavor profile tends to be more basic, designed for mass consumption.
4. Product presentation and care
Solfarmers: Each piece of jamon is carefully selected and packaged to guarantee freshness and quality when it reaches your table.
Costco Spanish Ham: As a large chain product, the presentation may not receive the same attention to detail, which impacts the overall perception of the product.
5. Commitment to authenticity
Solfarmers: We are committed to offering products that respect Spanish culinary traditions. Our ham is not just a food, it is an experience that connects with the culture.
Costco Spanish Ham: Although it may be a convenient option, it does not always guarantee the same level of authenticity in its processes and final product.
If you're looking for a ham that truly represents the essence of Spain, Solfarmers ham is your choice. While Costco Spanish Ham may be an affordable alternative, our commitment to quality, authenticity and flavor sets us apart. Taste the excellence of Solfarmers and elevate your gastronomic moments!
