Bellota magic from Salamanca
A ham that won’t let us go
There are times when you don’t just taste a product, you encounter it. That’s what happened to us with the Bellota ham from Jamones Blazquez. A taste that sticks with you. A story that you want to tell. And a family business that has been doing nothing but perfecting ham since 1932.
When passion is contagious
Our first encounter with Blazquez came via Felix Küng – connoisseur, ambassador and someone who talks about ham as if he were talking about art. His enthusiasm is infectious. And it made us curious.
When he told us how the Blazquez family has been working for four generations, how they keep their animals, how they mature, test, smell and feel – it became clear:
This is not a product. It’s a piece of culture.
And that’s exactly the kind of story we want to serve our guests.
Bellota – the word that explains everything
Anyone who has ever tasted real bellota ham immediately understands why this word is almost sacred. During the montanera – the acorn season from November to January – the animals live freely on vast pastures. They eat what nature provides, especially acorns. Lots of movement, lots of time, lots of rest.
The result is an aroma that cannot be copied: warm, nutty, elegant.
A taste that does not impose itself, but unfolds.
It was precisely this naturalness that convinced us.
A family business that lives responsibility
What impresses us about Blazquez is not just the taste, but the attitude behind it. The family controls every step themselves – from grazing to maturing. Nothing is left to chance. The animals live outside, production is sustainable and the maturing process takes years.
You can feel that it’s not quantity that counts here, but character.
Why this ham suits Tietze’s, the ham for your event
We don’t choose our products based on trends, but on attitude. For people who love their craft. For food that triggers emotions.
The Bellota ham from Blazquez is just such a product.
It tells a story that we like to tell.
And it creates moments that stay with you at events.
Whether as a fine prelude to an aperitif, as a live cutting station or as the silent star of a Mediterranean menu – this ham makes every occasion that little bit more special.
Would you like to experience this pleasure at your event? Just ask us.
Pleasure that takes time – and deserves time
An Iberico ham develops its full aroma at around 22 degrees. Then the fat melts like olive oil – hence the affectionate nickname “olive oil on four legs”.
We love this moment.
And we love to share it with our guests. The ham for your event.
Fancy a tasting? We would be happy to show you what Bellota really means.
