Jamón Ibérico: Jamón ibérico is a type of cured ham from Iberian pigs. It is made from the hind legs of these animals, which undergo a salting and curing process that can last several years. It is eaten sliced thinly, often as an appetizer or tapa, accompanied by a glass of wine or vermouth. Its origin is linked to the dehesas of the Iberian Peninsula's southwest.
