The Ham (Jamon) Factory was a terrific experience for our group of about 20. The factory was remarkable in its care for quality and cleanliness. Migel was our tour guide and he did an excellent tour, presentation, and handling Q&A. We all loved the tour and learned a lot from it.

The review begins with a brief introduction to Jamon iberico production, proceeds to a fairly extensive factory tour and ends with a tasting. The staff was kind enough to take me on thr tour e even though, in reality the minimum group size is 2. Given the length of the tour and the Jamon you get at the end, this is an excellent value. Thanks for answering all my questions Kevin

We were reluctant to do this tour and we ended up being really happy we did it! Our guide Miguel was informative, enthusiastic, and patient with all our questions. All the employees we met were welcoming and friendly. We learnt about the very long process of curing ham, the different grades, and what to look for when buying in stores or ordering in restaurants. The end of the tour was a wonderful tasting of different ham products. It was all a pleasant surprise.

This was a wonderful experience. The whole process of creation of jamon iberico from acorn to plate was covered. Excellent guide, very informative. The tasting at the end of Torreon products was great. Would recommend this experience very much. 1o minutes out of Salamanca centre so easy to access, much easier than travelling to Guijelo.

We visited this Jamon factory and it was a great learning experience. Miguel was fantastic, taking his time to explain every detail of the process and educating us in the differences between the different grades of Jamón.

Alan V

Top Notch! Enjoyed every bit of it. Very, very educational. We have a whole new appreciation for the process of ham processing in Spain. After the event we drove southwest to the countryside pastures where the acorns grow and still saw many of the hogs out grazing - exactly as referenced in the tour & video.
