Serrano hams

Serrano ham is a food obtained from the salting and air drying of the hind legs of the pig. This same product is also called "paleta" or "paletilla" when obtained from the front legs. Serrano ham contrasts with cooked ham, also known as York ham or "sweet ham". It is called "serrano" due to the custom of curing the ham in high places in the mountains, where low temperatures facilitate the curing process.

Serrano ham is the most famous product of our gastronomy. It is known worldwide and valued internationally. Serrano ham has thousands of years of history and despite the passage of time, it continues to be successful, in part due to its flavor and all the beneficial contributions to our health, as it provides vitamins of the B and B6 group and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium. It is also a highly recommended food for low-calorie diets.

Serrano hams come from white pig breeds, and during their upbringing, they have been fed with cereals. The curing process of a serrano ham takes between 12 and 16 months, and its production process is 100% natural.

How to consume serrano ham?

To eat and enjoy the best serrano ham, some aspects must be taken into account to be able to do it under the best possible conditions. One of the most important points and factors is the temperature of the product, which should be between 20º and 25º Celsius. This is important so that the serrano ham retains all its organoleptic properties, its texture, flavor, and aroma. In addition, these temperatures benefit the fat, which makes it reach the perfect point to mix with the meat or lean part and give it greater juiciness.

As a general rule, ham is usually served in slices. But it is important to cut them well to not lose quality. Of course, it is much better to cut it by hand than by machine. The reason for this is related to the mechanical friction of the meat with the blade or knife. In addition, the temperature of the cutting blade of the machine alters the flavor of the ham and causes the loss of nutrients.
