A plate of ham at the Boqueria in Barcelona

Un bel piatto di jamon spagnolo gustato alla Boqueria di Barcellona

A nice plate of Spanish ham enjoyed at the Boqueria in Barcelona.
Every time I arrive in Spain by ship I always try to get off and enjoy a plate of Spanish raw ham: the famous jamon.
I ate this, accompanied by pan y tomate, some time ago now at the famous market called La Boqueria which is located on the Rambla in Barcelona.

Here's where the market is located:

Jamón ibérico (Iberian ham), or pata negra, or carna negra, is a type of ham from Iberian pigs, highly appreciated in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, where it is considered a haute cuisine product. For its production, and to be able to boast this name, the meat must come from specimens resulting from a cross in which, from a genetic point of view, at least 50% of the Iberian breed participates.

Prosciutti spagnoli appesi

Prosciutti spagnoli appesi.
Capita spesso di trovare in Spagna (la foto è stata fatta a Valencia) luoghi, e soprattutto, cibi come questi.
E’ uno degli emblemi culinari della Spagna: lo Jamon (serrano o iberico che sia)!
Quasi sempre, nei luoghi in cui si vende ai turisti, è appeso in bella mostra con il suo caratteristico cono sul fondo che serve a raccogliere eventuali gocce di unto.

Il prosciutto serrano (jamón serrano) si differenzia da quello iberico (jamón ibérico) per la razze impiegate, per la tipologia di alimentazione dei suini e per il processo di stagionatura. Per il prosciutto serrano, sono impiegati suini di razza bianca, alimentati principalmente a mangimi di cereali. La stagionatura ha uno sviluppo da sette a ventiquattro mesi.

Serrano Ham Hanging

Hanging Serrano Ham.
Besides being delicious to eat, it is also very beautiful to photograph. Maybe it is because in Spain we see hanging hams more often than in our country.
Now I can't tell you if these I photographed are jamon cerrano or hamon iberico or a pata negra... choose for yourself!
