About DRY CURED ACORN FED PORK HAM
Hemis Fares Dry Cured Acorn Fed Pork Ham is a specialty cured meat product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Hemis Fares sub-brand, which focuses on imported and Mediterranean-influenced foods within the Kroger private-label portfolio. This product features Iberico pork, a breed of pig native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), which is specifically noted as acorn-fed — a designation associated with the highest tier of Spanish jamón classification (Bellota-grade).
The ingredient statement is concise: Iberico pork, salt, sucrose, trisodium citrate, potassium nitrate, and sodium nitrate, with sodium ascorbate listed as an antioxidant accelerating the curing reaction. Potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate are traditional curing agents used in dry-cured hams to inhibit Clostridium botulinum, contribute to color stability, and develop the characteristic flavor of cured meats. The use of both nitrate salts is consistent with a slow, traditional dry-curing process where nitrates convert to nitrites over time.
Per 100 grams, this product provides 357 calories, 32.14 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates, and 25 grams of fat. Caloric density is high, with a notable protein-to-fat ratio characteristic of premium dry-cured ham. Dietary fiber is absent. The product is gluten-free and contains no dairy, egg, or plant-based allergens under FASTER Act 2023. Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets.
