About Iberian ham
Iberian Ham, or Jamón Ibérico, is a prized cured meat originating from Spain and Portugal. Made from the legs of Iberian pigs, it’s revered for its rich flavor and delicate marbling. The pigs are often fed on acorns, which enhances the taste and contributes to a higher level of healthy monounsaturated fats. Iberian Ham is high in protein and offers essential vitamins like B6 and minerals such as iron and zinc. Its fat content, while significant, includes heart-healthy oleic acid, similar to that found in olive oil. However, it’s also high in sodium due to the curing process, which should be consumed in moderation. As a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, Iberian Ham is celebrated for its artisanal production and forms a luxurious indulgence with balanced nutritional benefits. It’s often enjoyed sliced thin, paired with fresh bread, fruits, or wine for a decadent experience.
