About Pata negra
Pata Negra, also known as Jamón Ibérico, is a prized cured ham from Spain made from Iberian pigs, often acorn-fed, which gives the meat its distinctive nutty flavor and marbled texture. Rich in high-quality proteins, vitamins like B1 and B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc, it is a nutrient-dense delicacy. Its fat content, primarily oleic acid, a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat also found in olive oil, distinguishes it from other cured meats. While it is a flavorful and artisanal product, its high sodium content means it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Renowned for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and strong ties to Mediterranean cuisine, it’s a luxurious and health-conscious indulgence for those seeking authentic Spanish flavors.
