What we learned and what we ate! Diego was so much fun and so knowledgeable. Definitely a must experience!
It was a really interesting and enjoyable experience which gave a good insight into Jamón ibérico and the various types, flavours and textures. We got to sample the various types as they were being discussed.
Diego was our host and was really knowledgable.
Fun, educational, and interactive experience! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our masterclass with Jamón Master Juan! Juan is truly passionate and knowledgeable about all things jamón. Tasting portions are generous, so don’t eat a big meal beforehand! After attending the Jamón Experience Masterclass, you’ll leave happy AND full (of jamón and knowledge), which you can start to burn off with a short 2 minute walk to La Sagrada Familia! We highly recommend this culinary experience.
We absolutely thought this experience was the perfect activity to learn about all things jamon. Such a fun and entertaining class. Juan was the greatest host and answered any and all questions. They serve a great portion of Iberico in the masterclass and the wine with it is fun too. Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful time learning about Jamón with Joy. She was informative, had fun “quess the answer” interaction, and made the class fun and engaging.
Absolutely amazing experience. Joy was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The jamón was delicious and paired with cava and wine. You will not leave hungry or thirsty!
Diego walked us through the different meats and was fun and engaging, even for my wife who isn't a fan of pork. Diego's passion was infectious and engaging, and we had a great time! It felt like a chat with an old friend as much as an educational experience. It was probably the most fun thing we did in Barcelona!

What a joy to read your words!
Diego’s greatest gift is sharing his passion in a way that feels both natural and personal, so it touches us deeply to know you felt like chatting with an old friend. Moments like these are exactly what we hope to create! ✨

Cintia was the best! So sweet and helpful. Learned quite a few new things. Would have been better if there was a separate room for the class tho. A little hard to hear sometimes because of the noise.
