Iberian ham

Jamón Ibérico is one of Spain's most prized culinary treasures. Made from native black Iberian pigs, this cured ham is aged for up to 36 months, developing a rich, nutty flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The finest variety, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, comes from pigs fed on acorns and raised free-range in the dehesas. While its production is centered in western Spain, it's a staple on the tables of Málaga—served in thin slices with local wine or bread. Elegant, intense, and deeply rooted in tradition, Iberian ham is a symbol of Spanish gastronomy.
