Air-Dried Yellowfin Tuna Loin, Mojama, 80g
£0.00
DESCRIPTION
Known as jamón del mar (“ham of the sea”), this exceptional mojama is produced exclusively in Barbate, a coastal town in southern Spain famed for its tuna-curing heritage. Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status ensures it is made to strict EU-certified standards, reflecting centuries-old expertise and the unique maritime terroir of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Crafted from the lean central loins of yellowfin tuna, the process begins with a two-day cure in sea salt, followed by 45–50 days of natural air-drying in the region’s distinctive winds. Every step — from cleaning and salting to drying — is done entirely by hand, preserving purity, precision, and premium quality.
The result is a delicately salty, umami-rich delicacy with a clean finish and a firm yet tender bite. Serve in thin slices, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, for the purest expression of its flavour. Also superb with salads, fresh cheese, caramelised artichokes, or alongside fried eggs and potatoes.
A true product of place and tradition, this mojama captures the essence of southern Spain in every slice.
