OK. I've been wanting to try this for a while now. Especially after watching 'Chef Abroad' in Spain. While out and about enjoying tapas, our chef abroad tasted jamón ibérico de bellota (acorn). It is a ham from pigs that roam oak forests along the border between Spain and Portugal, and eat only acorns. AKA Jamón Iberico de Montanera. The exercise and the diet has a significant impact on the flavor of the meat; the ham is cured for 36 months. Chef mentions a "nutty" flavour. I can't wait to try it. Must find it ASAP!
