Jamón is a 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. Serrano ham, unlike its cousin, Iberico Jamon, is made from conventional white pork.
Fresh hams are trimmed and cleaned, then stacked and covered with salt for about two weeks to draw off excess moisture and preserve the meat from spoiling. The salt is then washed off, and the hams are hung to dry for about six months. Finally, the hams are hung in a cool, dry place for six to 18 months, depending on the climate, as well as the size and type of ham being cured.
The drying sheds (secaderos) are usually built at higher elevations, which is why the ham is called “mountain ham”.
Serrano ham should be enjoyed at room temperature. The traditional way to consume Serrano ham is to accompany it with bread and wine or beer. In some places it’s traditional to prepare bread by spreading it with tomato, or to or accompany Spanish ham with drinks like fine wine or manzanilla.
