Experience the rich flavors of the Iberian Peninsula with an Iberian ham tasting in Barcelona. This unique opportunity is tailor-made for culinary enthusiasts eager to savor the finest delicacies in the city.
Tasting Selections
When reserving your spot, you can select the tasting option that aligns best with your preferences. All sessions kick off at the designated location on Ptge. de Simó in Barcelona. Below are the details of each tasting experience:
Ibérica Tasting (30 Minutes)
Join us for a delightful Iberian Ham tasting at the scheduled time. Get set to uncover the traditional and sumptuous flavors unique to this Catalan city. Prepare your appetite!
Upon arrival, you'll be seated and the Iberian ham tasting will commence. This engaging experience provides a cultural exploration of Spanish cuisine. You will sample two varieties of ham: Gran Reserva and 50% Ibérico de Cebo, as you savor their distinct flavors and textures. Each tasting will be paired with your choice of a glass of cava, wine, beer, or soft drink, along with some breadsticks.
As you indulge in these gourmet bites, the servers will share insights about the hams and other products involved in the tasting. The setting is warm and inviting, conveniently located just a stone's throw from the Sagrada Familia.
After 30 minutes of delightful tasting, you'll conclude the experience. If your palate yearns for more, feel free to explore additional tastes on your own!
Premium Tasting (1 Hour)
For those seeking a more elaborate experience, the Premium tasting is a must. This delightful journey includes an assortment of 4 high-quality ham types, featuring Gran Reserva, jamón ibérico de cebo, the luxurious Pata Negra, and the ibérico de Campo. Breadsticks accompany these selections to amplify the flavors.
During the 1-hour Premium tasting, an expert ham slicer will guide you through the nuances of aroma, texture, and flavor that distinguish each type. You'll learn to discern the intricacies of fat content, the glossy sheen of Iberian ham, and its flavor profile—knowledge that varies with the breed, diet, and aging process of the pig. It's a true culinary art!
Discover that Iberian bellota ham can age beyond 36 months, and explore how the environment affects its flavor. Uncover the secrets of one of Spain’s prized gastronomic jewels!
This experience is further complemented by a glass of cava, wine, beer, or a soft drink. Enjoy!
Masterclass (1.5 Hours)
Seeking a unique tasting experience? This masterclass offers complete immersion into the realm of ham.
Throughout this 1.5-hour session, you’ll savor seven varieties of Iberian ham, ranging from the smooth and sweet to the bold and intense. You will relish Gran Reserva, the elite Ibérico Bellota 100%, Ibérico Cebo 50%, and Ibérico Campo 50%.
Our team will delve into the importance of slicing, curation techniques, and how a pig's diet influences the characteristics of each ham.
This masterclass includes breadsticks and a selection of well-paired wines and cavas that complement the hams beautifully. Embark on a journey to become a true connoisseur!
Masterplus (1.5 hours)
For the ultimate experience, the Masterplus tasting, guided by a master ham expert, is ideal. Here, you'll sample 7 different ham varieties: Gran Reserva, 50% Iberian cebo ham, 50% free-range cebo ham, two acorn-fed hams, 50% ibérico acorn-fed ham cubes, and the exceptional 100% ibérico acorn-fed ham.
This option also includes three types of Spanish cheese, from the mild Mató to the semi-hard Garrotxa and the robust Ronkari.

Every bite promises to tantalize your taste buds!
