About Spanish ham
Spanish ham, or "jamón," is a traditional cured meat from Spain, celebrated worldwide for its rich flavor and artisanal production. The two most famous types are Jamón Serrano, made from white pork, and Jamón Ibérico, crafted from the prized Iberian pigs, some of which are acorn-fed ("de bellota") for enhanced flavor. This delicacy is high in protein, iron, and vitamins like B1 and B12, making it a nutritious choice in moderation. Jamón Ibérico de bellota is also rich in oleic acid, a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, similar to olive oil. However, Spanish ham is preserved with salt, which means it can be high in sodium. It's best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, often paired with fruits, vegetables, or whole grains in Mediterranean cuisine. Careful curing and strict quality standards ensure its exceptional taste and nutritional profile align with the traditions of Spanish gastronomy.
