Mojama: the ham of the sea
Cured tuna mojama is known as the "ham of the sea" —and rightly so. This ancient salted delicacy shares with Iberian ham the slow curing process that concentrates flavors and generates an extraordinary complexity of nuances.
Originating from the coast of Cádiz and the Spanish Levante, mojama was already a delicacy prized by the Phoenicians and Romans. Today it remains one of the most exclusive gourmet products of the Mediterranean .
How to enjoy mojama like an expert
The key is the thin slice —almost translucent slivers that allow you to appreciate its full aroma. The classic accompaniment: Marcona almonds, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of grated tomato .
It also shines in salads, on breadsticks, with avocado, or simply with a few drops of lemon. Mojama is as versatile as it is delicious.
From the tuna trap to your table: a thousand-year-old tradition
The process for making mojama hasn't changed for centuries: salting, pressing, and air-drying . This natural method concentrates the tuna's amino acids, creating that intense and addictive umami flavor.
We select extra category mojama — the highest quality, with a uniform deep red color that indicates a perfect curing without shortcuts .
Full format: from the portion to the whole loin
We offer mojama in 200g portions (ideal for 4-6 servings as an appetizer) and in a whole piece of 1.8kg (perfect for catering or to have at home and cut as you go).
Both formats arrive vacuum-packed with refrigerated packaging from our warehouse in the Mercat del Ninot in Barcelona.
