Jamon

Jamón (Spanish: [xaˈmon]; pl.: jamones) is a type of dry-cured ham produced in Spain. It is one of the most globally recognized food items of Spanish cuisine. It is also regularly a component of tapas. Jamón is the Spanish word for 'ham'. As such, other ham products produced or consumed in Spanish-speaking countries are also called by this name. In Spain, the term jamón serrano is sometimes used to avoid confusions. Spanish dry-cured ham comes in a wide range of prices and qualities; as of 2019, typical prices went from €5.00 to €75.00 per kilogram, depending on a number of points, such as length of curing time, breed of pig, or type of animal feeding.
