Jamon

Jamon

Jamón is the Spanish word for ham. In English it refers to certain types of dry-cured ham from Spain. There are two primary types of jamón: Jamón serrano (meaning ham from the sierra or mountains) and Jamón ibérico (ham from the Black Iberian Pig).

Jamón is like Portuguese presunto and similar to Italian prosciutto but it is cured longer (max.: 18 months) and tastes slightly different.
