The seven kilo, Iberico Ham, is now on sale at Selfridges Food Hall. Only 50 animals were bread for the process, with each pig, being allowed to roam in the Extramadura, Western Spain.
The process of curing the meat, took 3 years, with salt, then being boxed and sent out to Selfridges.
Andrew Cavanna, Fresh Food Buyer at Selfridges, said: "Connoisseurs will appreciate the melt-in-the-mouth texture of this truly amazing Spanish ham.
Mr Cavanna also added that people thought that this price was rather high, but if they could see what has gone into this meat, and the texture and taste, they would see how amazing value it is.
I'm sure that most people will be disgusted at the price of this meat, especially with whats happening with the world right now. This product will not be to everyone's taste, but their will always be someone with that kind of money to spend, even if you think it's not right.
