About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in central Barcelona tasting seven grades of Spanish ham alongside three regional cheeses and paired wines. A Master Ham Cutter walks you through each selection, revealing how breed, diet and climate shape flavour and texture—from everyday Gran Reserva through to elite 100% Bellota. You'll taste your way up the quality ladder, understanding what makes each cut distinct. Breadsticks, cava, white and red wine round out the experience.

What to expect
Your expert will present each ham type in sequence, discussing its origins and production method before you taste. You'll notice how the curing process and pig diet create layers of flavour—saltiness, richness, texture vary significantly. Cheeses arrive alongside the wines; the pairing is designed to complement each ham selection. Expect 90 minutes of guided tasting rather than rushed sampling. The room is near enough to Sagrada Familia for a quick walk beforehand or after.
