The ham that the Archbishop of Seville gave Pope Francis came from “divine ham”, in Nervión

Isabel Guerrero Gómez She is the owner of “Divine Ham”, the establishment to which the archbishopric commissioned him the gift that its headline took to his holiness ten days ago. Located next to the parish of La Milagrosa, in the Sevillian neighborhood of Nervión, it could not have a more suitable name for one of its highest quality pieces to end in the hands of God’s maximum representative on earth.

Sources of that ham business say that the call of Palace with the order Archbishop arrived on Monday, February 3. «On Tuesday the piece was cut, on Thursday we delivered it and on Saturday they gave it to the Dad. It is one of the best hams we have, although we only work with the best brands and the most recognized for their quality, “they explain in Divine Ham.

Spain has many world champions of this specialty/skill related to the ham “premium.”
