Iberico Ham
Iberico Ham is a type of cured ham produced in Spain, made from the Iberian pig. These pigs are known for their unique diet, which includes acorns, giving the ham its rich flavor and distinctive marbling. The curing process can take anywhere from 24 months to several years, resulting in a complex taste profile.
There are different grades of Iberico Ham, with Jamon Iberico de Bellota being the highest quality, sourced from pigs that have been free-range and fed on acorns. This ham is often enjoyed thinly sliced and served as a delicacy in various culinary settings.
