Gift Watch: 16 pounds of Jamón ibérico

POSTED: Friday, December 7, 2012, 3:37 PM

File this one under: spendy presents for people you really love. Alongside more modest food-related gifts (mod Japanese barware, organic vanilla) at the Food52 Shop, is an entire bone-in jamon Ibérico. Imported from Fermin in La Alberca, Spain by The Rogers Collection in Portland, Maine, this 16 pound piece of a pig comes with a special wooden ham holder and slicing knife. All for just for $650 (hey, its full retail value is $830)!

Seriously though, imagine the look on a loved one’s face when this beast is delivered to their doorstep. Yes, it might be an obscene amount of cured ham, but it will last for months after even the most committed New Year’s resolutions have deflated.

If you’d like celebrate the season with Fermin’s beautiful pork products on a slighty tighter budget, there is also a $59 option that would bring mad sophistication to any snack spread: two ounces of Ibérico de Bellota Lomo, two ounces Serrano Paleta, a seven ounce Dry Cured Salchichon Ibérico Sausage, and a seven ounce Dry Cured Chorizo Ibérico Sausage.
