Jamón

Jamón refers to a type of dry-cured ham from Spain, highly regarded for its rich flavor and delicate texture. The two main varieties are Jamón Serrano, made from white pigs, and Jamón Ibérico, produced from the rare Iberian breed, often enjoying a diet of acorns. The curing process can take several months to years, enhancing the meat's taste and aroma. Served thinly sliced, jamón is a staple in Spanish cuisine, commonly enjoyed with bread or as part of charcuterie boards, showcasing the country's culinary tradition and craftsmanship in meat processing.
