ANDALUCIA...
..Manzanilla with Jamón Ibérico
de bellota
|
 Manzanilla is the most
representative wine of the country due to a biological aging
process unique to southwest Spain. We are the only ones in Madrid to serve the wine pure, that is, without any type of treatment what we call, "en rama".
Jamón Ibérico de bellota is a cured ham produced
only in Spain and Portugal. It is at least 75% Black
Iberian Pig, the only breed of pig that naturally seeks
and eats acorns. A good ibérico ham has regular flecks
of intramuscular fat. Because of the pig's diet of
acorns, much of the jamón's fat is oleic acid, a
monounsaturated fatty acid that has been shown to lower
LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol.
