The tapas dictionary

Ibérico: A native Iberian breed of pig, free-ranged on Spain’s dehesa pastureland, where it feeds on grass and on the forest’s fruits (acorns and chestnuts). That diet and the exercise produce heavily marbled, deeply flavoured meat, the basis of Iberian ham, cured sausages and tapas such as secreto and presa.
Pimentón: Pimentón is a Spanish spice made from dried, ground red peppers. It can be sweet, bittersweet, or hot, and is often smoked. It is used to add colour and flavour to stews, cured meats, and other dishes. Its origin is mainly associated with the region of Extremadura.
