Jamón Ibérico de Ledrada (Salamanca)

Located at the foot of the Sierra de Béjar, and just 12km from Guijuelo, Ledrada is a municipality dedicated exclusively to the production of ham and sausage ibérico. A landscape that combines mountains with holm oak pastures. Its climate of long dry and cold winters, and short and mild summers, make it an ideal enclave for the natural curing of Jamón Ibérico. A very important climatic factor is the altitude of 880m above sea level and its surroundings allow it to remain free of fog during the winter, as these negatively affect the natural curing of ham and paleta ibérica.

With just over 500 registered inhabitants, Ledrada has 7 ham, paleta and sausage factories ibérico. A municipality dedicated body and soul to the jamón ibérico.

As it cannot be less, Ledrada has a holiday dedicated to the production of Iberian products that gives it so much fame. Every year, on a Sunday in February, the municipality recreates the typical traditional slaughter, where they teach all visitors how our grandparents made the products that today serve as sustenance. For this reason, the Martín family invites you not to miss this unique event and very illustrative of how these products were made.

The brand cures hams, shoulders, sausages and sausages from the Iberian pigs of its own farms. It has a farm where the greatest commitment is animal welfare.
