The judges have evaluated:

A lovely deep dark red ham with good fat to meat to ratio. The meat is beautifully moist and there is a delicate aroma of pork with a great strong nutty sweet flavour from the acorns. The fat was deliciously creamy and melted in the mouth.
 
Appealing slices of ham with a buttery fat layer. The aroma is appealing, with notes of sweet pork and the taste is deep, smooth, with a sweetness and herbal notes, which follows through into the natural taste of the aged pork. A delicious example of Iberian ham.
 
A glossy finely striated ham with a smooth and mouth-wateringly moist texture. The flavour is savoury but also naturally sweet with a meaty depth. An excellently prepared ham.
