Indeed, it is raw meat. It is a delicacy of the gods.
The hams are buried in salt for several days, always in conditions of humidity and temperature very controlled. Afterwards, they are washed with water and the meat is massaged to eliminate any blood.

The next phase is the dryer: large spaces with the windows open (at least for a few hours each day) to circulate the air and in which the ham spends "sweating" for about a year. In the case of Jabugo and its surroundings, being close to the Atlantic (60 kilometers), but in a mountain area, the conditions are unique and especially suitable for this process.

The hams begin to be covered with mold in this phase, and thanks to this they will acquire their characteristic flavor and aroma, but they still have, at least another two years of storage.

Serrano ham is a source of proteins easily assimilated by the organism and with a high biological value (contains a high amount of essential amino acids).

This tasty food contains about 30 grams of protein per 100 grams of product.

2.- Perfect to prevent osteoporosis

Yep read all about these wonderful hams many times.
What the pigs are fed and everything.
Sure as heck isn't garbage.
Have been close making stuff here a time or two and I have no problem eating it raw as should be.

The pig, when it is in the wild, maintains an omnivorous diet based on fungi, fruits, insects, larvae, roots, worms, mice and food remains. These animals are able to find food, thanks to their developed sense of smell, even when they are buried a meter underground. The Iberian pig, when it feeds on the freedom of the dehesa, preserves this food instinct characteristic of its wild brethren. This is how it can reach between 87 and 180 centimeters long, depending (obviously) on the weight of this length.

The food that pigs eat greatly affects the subsequent taste of their fat and meat. In this way, the most precious hams come from pigs fed on acorns. This is because the high tannin levels of the acorns are the cause of that unique flavor that characterizes Iberian ham, which is said to be as complex as a ripe wine. Acorns are also a good source of fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Pigs love acorns, which has an added bonus that they are free and environmentally sustainable.

And where do Iberian pigs get most of their nutrients? Well, when they graze in freedom, of the dehesas of Andalusia (mainly located in the provinces of Córdoba, Cádiz, Huelva, Seville and Málaga) and Extremadura. That's where those meadows full of cork oaks, holm oaks and groans are located and which give acorns for fruit.

[Worth1]

Some of our white oaks have so little tannin in the acorns you can eat them in moderation without soaking it out.'
The red oak family is full of tannin.
Yes I go around eating stuff to the bewilderment of my fellow comrades.

[NicolasGarcia]

Unfortunately, for years foreign multinationals have been implanted in our country, selling hamburgers and others who know where the meat comes from, but they have something that people love. For me it is poison

[Worth1]

I understand completely I truly do.

For many years I used to get a catalog that featured all kinds of Spanish products,they were based in the US but imported to the US almost all they sold and yes I bought some, especially the soft and hard turron,but I have another source now.

But the PRICE of those Serrano hams was way to much money for me.

In Spain a normal ham of good flavor of 7 kilos of weight has a value of about 36 dollars, and a ham of more quality of acorn for about 80 dollars, it is also true that the most prestigious hams can cost about 1000 dollars, Chinese people go loscos with our hams.

[NicolasGarcia]

The Chinese leave us without stock I was referring

[NicolasGarcia]

You do not have to spend 1000 dollars to eat a good ham, for 30 dollars you can eat in Spain a very good ham, there is much deception with the theme of ham

I'm sure there is and a sucker born every minute.
This person insulted me about my ham I made.
The guys said try Worth's ham it is some of the best ham ever made.
He said no thanks I have had the best ham ever made like a snob.
I then tried to get him to go in with me to buy a thousand dollar ham and he backed off.
So I made him look cheap in front of everyone by saying, what no class I'll buy it myself then.
