Jamón Serrano

Cultural Context

Originating from Spain, Jamón Serrano is a traditional dry-cured ham made from the meat of white pigs. It is a staple in Spanish cuisine, often enjoyed as a tapa or appetizer. The curing process can last from several months to years, resulting in a rich, savory flavor that is beloved in Spain and increasingly recognized around the world.
