About Jamon cerdo iberico
Jamon Cerdo Iberico, often regarded as one of Spain's culinary treasures, is a cured ham made from Iberian pigs native to the Iberian Peninsula. The pigs are traditionally pasture-raised and fed on acorns, which contribute to the ham’s rich, nutty flavor. This delicacy is naturally high in protein and contains healthy monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid, which is beneficial for heart health. It also supplies essential nutrients such as zinc, iron, and B vitamins. However, it is cured with salt, making it relatively high in sodium, which should be consumed in moderation to avoid potential health risks. Jamon Iberico is prized for its delicate marbling and melt-in-the-mouth texture, making it a staple in Spanish cuisine and a luxurious option for tapas or charcuterie boards. Balanced consumption paired with wholesome sides can optimize its nutritional benefits while minimizing concerns regarding sodium.
