Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Jamón Ibérico

The Spanish are rightly proud of Spanish ham, of which there are many different types. Slicing the ham wafer-thin requires a lot of practice. The most popular and most expensive is the ‘Jamón Ibérico de Bellota’, which comes from pigs that have been subjected to traditional acorn fattening.

There is something iconic about ham in Spain that goes far beyond a food product. And somehow the Spanish are right, because I have never eaten better (and more expensive) ham than in Spain.
