Carrasco Ibéricos is a ham for connoisseurs. For those who know how to appreciate all of its nuances, from the aroma of the hillsides, its silky texture that slowly melts in your mouth thanks to the animals having been mainly fed on acorns, to the low amount of salt used, and its characteristic hint of ‘sweetness’. Let’s just say that it’s not just any old ham. And that’s why we decided that it could not be paired with ‘just any old bread’.
We are looking for a baker who knows as much about bread as making something special to go with our ham, thus make the eating experience even better. For its texture, flavour and for its nuances.
We are therefore announcing a competition to find an IBÉRICO CARRASCO BREAD.
Winner: Marc Martí, representing Xevi Ramón (Triticum, Barcelona)
