Through a meticulous process of salting and drying, followed by careful selection, this product boasts a dark brown exterior with visible tuna loin veins when sliced. Known as the "Ibérico Ham of the Sea," this gourmet mojama is a true Spanish delicacy.
Premium Quality – Extra Grade
This Mojama Extra is classified as the highest quality "Extra" grade, which comes from a compact area of muscle, resulting in a softer texture with subtle marbling. This grade is superior to the standard "Premium" or "Sirloin" mojama, delivering an exquisite and delicate flavor in every bite.
What is Mojama?
Mojama is a traditional Spanish delicacy made from salted and air-dried tuna loin, often referred to as the "Ibérico Ham of the Sea." This cured tuna is known for its rich, intense flavor and is a staple in Spanish cuisine, especially in coastal regions.

Additionally, it provides a natural source of iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins, contributing to energy levels, muscle repair, and immune support.
Authentic & Natural Production

Preservation and Serving Tips

Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving. For an authentic experience, slice thinly and pair with gourmet crackers, Obando bread thins, or Obando picos gourmet for the perfect Spanish touch.
