About Jamon

Jamon, a dry-cured ham originating from Spain, is a cornerstone of Spanish cuisine with varieties like Jamón Serrano and the prized Jamón Ibérico. Made from pork, it undergoes a lengthy curing process, which enhances its rich, savory flavor. Jamon is a source of high-quality protein, vitamins like B6 and B12, and essential minerals such as zinc and iron. Its healthy fat content includes oleic acid, found in Jamón Ibérico, which supports heart health. However, it is high in sodium due to the curing process, making moderation key. Jamon is often enjoyed thinly sliced, paired with cheese or fruits, and used in tapas or other traditional dishes. Opting for authentic, well-prepared Jamon ensures a balance between indulgence and nutritional benefits within Mediterranean-inspired diets.
