About Dry cured ham

Dry-cured ham is a traditional delicacy crafted by preserving pork with salt and air-drying over an extended period, sometimes several months or years. Originating from various regions, such as Spain's Jamón Serrano or Italy's Prosciutto, this process enhances flavor and texture while eliminating moisture. Its rich taste and smooth texture make it a cornerstone in Mediterranean cuisines, often served thinly sliced. Nutritionally, dry-cured ham is a good source of protein, essential vitamins like B6 and B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc. However, it is also high in sodium due to the curing process and may contain saturated fats depending on the cut. Consumed in moderation, it can be an enjoyable addition to a balanced diet, but individuals with dietary restrictions or heart concerns should be mindful of its salt and fat content. Perfect for cheese boards, salads, or as a flavor-packed snack.
