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.

It was fascinating to learn about the iberian pig and processes. The tasting was good to experience the flavours of the various cuts and qualities of meat.
Despite the tour operator booking me alone when the minimum is two people I was acomafated by the company which is a credit to the company and excellent customer service...

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.

A very interesting experience with a great didactic component that is not at odds with entertainment. The hostess plays her role phenomenally, accompanying during the visit and the tasting with understandable and meaningful explanations. The Iberian tasting is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Dieser Schinkenkurs war seht lehrreich mit einem kompetenten Chef Miguel. Danach die Verkostung mit den Tapas war sensationell mit einem Superkoch. Alles frisch vor uns zubereitet. Diesen Kurs kann. ich jedem Gourmet empfehlen.
