Chapter one · Our story

A maestro, a leg of jamón,
and a room that gathers round

Iberico Sydney was founded on a simple belief: the best Spanish ham deserves to be experienced, not just eaten.

So we built our service around the ritual itself: a whole leg presented on its jamonero and carved live, the way it's done across Spain.

We work only with traditionally cured Iberian ham, hand-selected and Product of Spain. From acorn-fed Bellota Ibérico to classic Serrano, every leg is chosen for quality and carved by hand to order.

Timeless. Not trendy. Quality.

  • I

    Authenticity

    Genuine Spanish ham, carved the traditional way, never imitations, never pre-packed.

  • II

    Hospitality

    Warm, polished service that turns a food station into a genuine experience.

  • III

    Presentation

    A station that looks the part anywhere, from ballrooms to harbourside terraces.

Chapter two · The founder

One belief, held since 2021

Sydney has no shortage of good food. What it lacked was the ceremony: a whole leg on its stand, a carver’s knife moving in long, unhurried strokes, and guests drifting over because something is quietly happening in the corner of the room.

Iberico Sydney was founded in 2021 to bring that ceremony here, properly. No shortcuts, no pre-sliced packets, no imitation. Just the real thing, done the way it has always been done in Spain, and presented with the polish a fine event deserves.

Every leg is hand-selected. Every slice is cut to order. And every station is set with the same care, whether it’s a boardroom breakfast or a harbourside wedding.

Chapter three · Jamón Ibérico

What is Jamón Ibérico?

Jamón Ibérico is a cured ham made from the Iberian pig (cerdo ibérico), a breed native to the Iberian Peninsula.

It's celebrated worldwide for its deep, nutty flavour and a fat that quite literally melts at room temperature.

Unlike mass-produced hams, true Ibérico is the product of generations of tradition: the breed, the land, the diet and a long, patient cure.

From the oak woodlands to your plate

A craft measured in years, not days

  1. i

    The dehesa

    The Iberian pig roams the vast oak woodlands of western Spain. Free to move and forage, the breed develops the marbling that gives Ibérico its signature texture.

  2. ii

    The montanera

    In the finest grade, Bellota, pigs are fattened on acorns and grasses. Acorns are rich in oleic acid, the same healthy fat as olive oil, which is why top Ibérico tastes buttery and almost sweet.

  3. iii

    The salting

    Each leg is packed in sea salt, then rested. It's the first and simplest step of a process that has barely changed in centuries.

  4. iv

    The cellars

    Cured slowly in natural cellars where temperature and humidity shift with the seasons. The best hams age for two to four years, developing aroma and complexity.

  5. v

    The carving

    Finally, the leg is set on its jamonero and carved by hand into whisper-thin slices. At your event, that last step happens in front of your guests.

Chapter four · Know the difference

Serrano vs. Ibérico

Jamón Serrano

Made from white-breed pigs and cured in the mountains (sierra). Clean, savoury and approachable, a wonderful crowd-pleaser across a large guest list.

Savoury · Delicate · Versatile

Jamón Ibérico

From the Iberian breed, often acorn-fed (Bellota) and cured for years. Nuttier, richer and more complex, with fat that melts on the tongue.

Nutty · Buttery · Melt-on-the-tongue

In short: Serrano is the classic everyday ham; Ibérico is the prized, special-occasion ham, and both are carved beautifully live at your event.
