Dry-cured ham from Spain

About this dish

Jamón is a type of dry-cured ham produced in Spain. It is one of the most globally recognised food items of Spanish cuisine. It is also regularly a component of tapas. Jamón is the Spanish word for ham. As such, other ham products produced or consumed in Spanish-speaking countries are also called by this name. In Spain, the term jamón serrano is sometimes used to avoid confusion. Spanish dry-cured ham comes in a wide range of prices and qualities; as of 2019, typical prices ranged from €5.00 to €75.00 per kilogram, depending on several factors, such as length of curing time, breed of pig, and the pig's diet.
