I never thought you could get a good jamon online and being so far from my country. However, my family and me enjoyed the taste of this Paletilla every single morning during last Christmas. I'll order another one soon.

Josh was extremely responsive and helpful through several rounds of phone tag and subsequent conversations. He's extremely knowledgable. And I don't think it's possible for anyone with a brick-and-mortar operation to compete with his pricing

I found Hamlovers online while planning our Christmas season. I lived in Spain for 6 years and after moving to the U.S. I was definitely missing my Christmas Jamón. I've got my Jamón Serrano about a week after buying it, it was a very good piece (a little bit on the expensive side perhaps, but justified given the weight and burden of shipping it overseas). I definitely recommend this company and I'm sure I will buy again from them in the future.

Thank you it was like being in Spain for the holidays. Service was excellent. Delivery faster than expected. Jamonero was helpful and much appreciated.

It is quite a special birthday treat to have my jamon shipped directly to my doorstep in Hawaii. I would definitely try to have some ham in Europe at about half the price!

I ordered the Hamlovers sampler pack. Ordering was easy and shipping was quick but the quality of the meats were not good and one of the meats(Serrano) advertised in the pack was not included and Chorizo and Salchichon was sent in its place. I was looking forward to eating Serrano. On the edges of each slice of Lomo, there were small bland tasting clear crystals that dissolved while chewing that gave it an unpleasant texture until they dissolved. Also, throughout each slice of Jamon Iberico there were small bright white hard crystal/chunks. These did not dissolve and gave it an off texture. I'm guessing the crystals were curing chemicals but I have eaten these kinds of meats before and I have never seen these crystals before. The Jamon Iberico had great flavor but all the other meats that came as part of the sampler pack had a plastic like flavor like they had picked up the flavor of the plastic packaging. I do not find this plastic like flavor appetizing and will probably throw them out.. I am willing to order from Hamlovers again but I will not be ordering this product ever again. Even though this pack is a less expensive item, I expected better meat quality.

Hi Jackie I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with us. We usually get great reviews about the sliced meats you ordered - I suspect you may have gotten a bad batch. The crystals are not curing chemicals (the iberico ham and lomo de bellota are cured in salt), but rather amino acids that appear in the ham after a long maturing period. Nonetheless, they should not appear in the meat in sufficient quantities to affect the taste. As for the substitution, that won't happen again. This was done for a weeks or so by one of our newer employees (when we ran out of serrano). He has been instructed not to do so in the future. All that said, what can I do for you? I'd be happy to send you another order of slices or offer store credit for the amount you paid. Would that help? You can reach me at [email protected]. best Josh

In Spain, we loved 5J ham, so for Christmas I ordered a small package of sliced Bellota ham to share with guests. After I'd placed my order, I had a question about storing the meat after it arrived and I received a prompt and pleasant response. I would definitely order the ham again for a special occasion. I am getting hungry just thinking about it. I bought a wedge of manchego to go with it and we loved it all. The ham was delicious and reminded us of our wonderful trip this summer.
