About Ham serano
Ham Serrano, or Jamón Serrano, is a dry-cured Spanish ham celebrated for its rich flavor and silky texture. The name translates to "mountain ham," reflecting traditional curing methods in high-altitude regions. Made from pork, the ham undergoes a meticulous process of salting and aging for months, often up to a year, to develop its distinctive taste. Nutritionally, Jamón Serrano is high in protein and essential vitamins like B6 and B12, supporting energy and metabolism. It also contains healthy fats, including monounsaturated fats, which can benefit heart health. However, like most cured meats, it is high in sodium, which can be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. In moderation, Jamón Serrano can be a flavorful addition to a balanced diet, often enjoyed in tapas, sandwiches, or paired with fruit for a classic Spanish culinary experience.
