We had such a wonderful time learning about Jamón with Joy. She was informative, had fun “quess the answer” interaction, and made the class fun and engaging.
Absolutely amazing experience. Joy was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The jamón was delicious and paired with cava and wine. You will not leave hungry or thirsty!
This was excellent, delicious, and so much FUN — all rolled into one unforgettable experience! Our Master Teacher Joy truly lived up to her name — she was radiant, knowledgeable, and brought such warmth and JOY to the entire class. She guided us through a tasting of seven different types of Jamón, explaining the subtle differences in flavor, texture, and quality. We also had the pleasure of tasting Cava, white wine, red wine, and some delightful little bites that paired beautifully with the meats. The setting is just around the corner from the Sagrada Familia, surrounded by shops and restaurants — a beautiful and quaint shop where you can purchase all things Jamón and Cheese. ✨ Highly recommended — a MUST when visiting Barcelona! ✨
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had such a fun and delicious experience ❤️🥓✨. We’re glad Joy made the class so enjoyable and memorable. We loved reading your kind words and hope to welcome you back very soon!
We had such a great time learning about Jamon and drinking Cava/Vino. Our host Joy made it so much fun with her energy. What a great way to learn … and just steps from the Segrada.
Thank you Patricia for your words! We’re thrilled you had a great time and that Joy made the experience so fun ❤️🥓
This was a great experience! Joy was so awesome - she is friendly, fun, and clearly an expert. She explained so much about the jamón that we are now experts too. The cava and jamón samples were delicious. Joy is an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much Charlotte! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the experience and that Joy made it fun, friendly, and informative. She’ll be delighted to hear your kind words, and we hope to see you again soon ❤️
Joy was such a joy for our jamon tasting. We walked away learning a tremendous amount we didn’t know or realize before and have a deeper appreciation now for Iberico jamon and what to look and ask for when we’re back in the US. The portion of meat and wines was substantial and was our lunch.
Thank you so much for your kind words. ✨ It fills us with joy to know that Joy shared with you not only the flavors of jamón, but also the passion and culture behind it. Knowing you return home with a deeper appreciation of Ibérico jamón is the greatest reward for our dedication. May every future slice bring you back to this special moment in Barcelona. ❤️ —The Jamón Experience Team
We tried several different Jambon, starting with the least expensive to a very high priced one. Each was explained by Diego very well and the amount served was generous. We cannot import to the USA but wish I could. It was a fun evening. Diego was a great teacher.
We’re so grateful for your words. ✨ It’s wonderful to know that Diego was able to guide you through the journey of flavors, step by step, until discovering the true treasures of jamón. The generous slices are just a reflection of the generosity and passion we put into every experience. Even if the jamón cannot cross the ocean, we hope that the memory of this evening stays with you, like a taste you carry in your heart. ❤️ —The Jamón Experience Team
Terrific. Cynthia was knowledgeable, informative and engaging. Worth every Euro. Would do again. Jamon at it's best.
Thank you from the heart for such a kind review. ✨ We’re delighted that Cynthia’s passion and knowledge made your tasting so memorable. When jamón is shared with curiosity and joy, it truly becomes an unforgettable experience! Happy to see you in future! All the best from Barcelona!
Diego walked us through the different meats and was fun and engaging, even for my wife who isn't a fan of pork. Diego's passion was infectious and engaging, and we had a great time! It felt like a chat with an old friend as much as an educational experience. It was probably the most fun thing we did in Barcelona!
What a joy to read your words! Diego’s greatest gift is sharing his passion in a way that feels both natural and personal, so it touches us deeply to know you felt like chatting with an old friend. Moments like these are exactly what we hope to create! ✨ —The Jamón Experience Team
You need to try this unique experience – ample amounts, seven different varieties of jamon Enrique Tomas is a purveyor of fine Iberico jamon(ham) throughout Spain. This location served the platters and sandwiches as most of their locations serve. This location just up from the Sagrada Familia offers a master class in understanding and tasting this wonderful Spanish delicacy. Diego, the instructor is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He enjoys his craft so much so that although he is Italian he likes the Spanish ham better than Italian prosciutto. We were served seven different varieties or grades of jamon. With each one, you learn the parentage, diet and climate that determines the nuances of the aromas, consistency and flavors. There were ample amounts to allow sampling and comparing side by side. The hams are on display around the room and Diego shows the differences in appearances so they you can tell them apart. Cava (sparkling wine) or red wine is served to complement the ham as well as cleanse the palate. A complete immersion in culture and taste. Wonderful and highly recommended.
