Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, or Pata Negra, is cured ham from acorn eating Black Iberian pigs available from Spain. It has started to make appearances in gourmet groceries here in the US in the past year or so at about $100/pound. The taste is amazing, it is so fatty, that the meat melts in your mouth.While in a department store in Japan, we came upon this stand that had more Jamón Ibérico I've ever seen- about a dozen full legs hung gloriously in a row.
