Spanish Ham, the Best Ham in the world
The tradition of elaborating Spanish Hams is the oldest in the world, and these delicacies are a worldwide gourmet favourite.
Why is Spanish Ham considered to be the best in the world? There are several reasons, such as its smooth texture, uniquely characteristic flavour, and healthy qualities, making it a key ingredient in Spain's renowned Mediterranean Diet.
As any Spanish granny can tell you, pigs are the best livestock: intelligent, well-tempered, quite clean despite common misconception, and absolutely every part of the animal has a use. Spanish Ham in particular is made out of the front and hind legs of the pig: Jamon is made out of the hind legs and rump and Paleta or Paletilla is made out of the front legs and shoulders.
Spanish Ham is never eaten raw; it is cured for several months-- up to 36, depending on the quality of the ham. And this curing process must be completely natural: only the warm summer winds and cool winter airs of Spain must partake in the process.
Since it is dry-cured, Spanish Ham has the least amount of moisture of all ham products created in the world. It is also high in oleic acid, a healthy fat which lowers bad cholesterol level (LDL) while raising good cholesterol levels (HDL). These kind of fatty acids help the arteries stay unclogged, and they are particularly present in Acorn Iberian Spanish Ham.
All in all, it's no wonder that Spanish Ham is as widely recognised as it is. Buy Spanish Ham today to bring its exceptional taste to your home and enjoy all it has to offer!
