Yep, that’s the Iberico. If it’s Iberico Bellota, the pigs are free range and given an acorn diet before slaughter - it’s the finest grade of iberico ham and does have that nutty flavor. It’s $$$$ - costco was selling full legs for ~$500 which is a bargain. Most places they are $1,000. It was also banned in the US until 2008. You can get platters of sliced meat for a lot less - Online retailers like La Tienda have it.
