Buenisimo-This Jamon Serrano is like the one relatives nurture and grow at home.
Thank you it was like being in Spain for the holidays. Service was excellent. Delivery faster than expected. Jamonero was helpful and much appreciated.

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.
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
Good quality, fast shipping, price is right. Very happy with purchase.
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.
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
For the second time I ordered a iberico small full ham -paletilla- I got surprised about the size of the paletilla when I opened the box, it looked very small! I checked the weight which should be 12-13 lb and attached to the piece you can clearly see 10.17lb!!!!! For the second time, the paletilla that I got is far smaller than what I payed for, for the second time. I am spanish and a big Ham Lover but I don't think I can trust this website anymore. I can understand a bit of difference on the size but twice and always smaller keeping the same price? I don't believe is fair for the consumer.
Hi Maria I'm sorry we left out your ham holder and knife. Would it help if I sent them now? The week and a half delay is not normal. Things were pretty chaotic at the time of your order due to having been out of commission after hurricane sandy for nearly two weeks (no power to our NJ warehouse, flooding). If you choose to order with us again I can promise things will be much quicker. best Josh
Helpful, fast, and very tasty! I will order again and again.
The ham was very good quality (I am a Spaniard from Extremadura, the cradle of cerdo iberico). Unfortunately, the shipping box was opened/damaged (some care can be put in here) and a smaller part of the order was missing. I was refunded for the missing item immediately. A very good experience and a Xmas party cutting real ham.
Even though I was not able to get my copy in time for Christmas, Josh and his team got the book out to me as quickly as possible. Thank you for the type of service that is so missing from most retailers.
I am from Spain and know Jamon Serrano. I was afraid to order a whole leg as it is costly and may not be of good quality. This ham was excellent and my whole family enjoyed carving slices everyday during the holidays, just as if we were in Spain!!!! Will definitely order again; Thank you!!!!!!!
Purchased and Iberico Ham, it was just a Wonderful, Just Perfect !
Loved the chorizo and jamon serrano.great service
To start with, I'm from Spain, so I know the quality of a good ham. All the fat around the ham was pink when cut, that is a great sign, when it turns yellow, the ham is too cured, flavor starts to change. Ordering was very simple, and delivered in a timely manner. The only reason I do not give them 5 stars is because they billed the wrong weight initially. The ham was smaller than advertise, so the price had to be adjusted. It is also true that it required only a simple phone call to get it fixed, but they should pay a little more attention to the weight before it ships out (the actual weight of the ham was shown on the label).
Hi Juan Thanks for your review. We're working on making sure that doesn't happen again. The weights of hams do occasionally vary outside the ranges we advertise (being either too big, which is never a problem, or too small, which is). Our warehouse workers are aware of this now. best Josh
I had very good service from Josh in December. He was courteous and effective, and got me by book and knife before Christmas. He even gave me a recommendation of a jamon facility to visit in Spain. All in all, you did a great job.
We were in Spain in October and developed a taste for their magnificent Serrano and Iberico hams. A quick google and I discovered Hamlover's.com in time to put packages of ham slices in everyone's Christmas stocking (well, not the grandkids!). The selection was great and delivery was quick.
Instructive and attentive service with prompt delivery of the highest quality product I was seeking. Happily recommend them to anyone, and will use them again.
My husband is from Spain and every year in November we order our Jamon for the holidays. The was the first time we ordered from Hamlovers.com. Our experience was excellent! The jamon was wonderful and still is! We have eaten A LOT of Jamon in this house and in the Andalucia. And, we were all very pleased with your product! Thanks!
I would recommend Hamlovers to all foodies who appreciate quality jamon!
Very good experience. Very easy to order and arrived in a timely manner. We enjoyed our ham a lot!
