Spanish Iberian ham: The ideal gift this Christmas

Iberian or Serrano ham are the perfect Christmas gifts. After this difficult season, we want a good taste in these Christmas parties. Giving away Iberian or Serrano ham and sending it to the United Kingdom is your best option for this Christmas.

I have questions about which ham to give this Christmas. What would you recommend?

Well, we will need you to provide us with the following information.

1- Ham or shoulder?

Ham and shoulder are different parts of the pig. The ham is the back leg of the pig, while the shoulder is the hint leg of the pig. The shoulder is smaller and has a higher percentage of waste. However, its flavor is intense and its meat is juicier. The ham is bigger and has less waste. It is also intense and has a higher yield.

2- Iberian or Serrano ham?

Iberian hams come from the Iberian pig, while Serrano ham comes from white pigs. Iberian ham has a higher percentage of infiltrated breed and its flavor is fruity and longer in the mouth. Serrano ham does not have so much fat infiltrated, its flavor is stronger.

3- Within Iberian hams, what are the differences among them?

Well, this is the diet that the pig has taken during the fattening season. The cebo hams have been fed with authorized feed, the cebo de campo hams have been fed with some pastures and the bellota hams have been fed with acorns and pastures, as well as being reared freely. This will make them juicier thanks to the fat infiltrated into the muscle.
