Iberian ham, or Jamón Ibérico, is one of the most expensive meats in the world. A leg of it can cost as much as $4,500. It is made from the rear leg of the black Iberian pig, a rare breed that can be found in the southern and western regions of the Iberian Peninsula, which comprises Spain and Portugal.

@@HarryKaneIsGoated I´m currently spending 6 months in Almeria / Spain and you can buy 100% legs starting at 150€, even in the normal supermarkets. Normally I agree, 200€ is a normal price. The normal price for 100 grams of the highest quality ham is 10€ / 100 grams. We bought some at the factory that won several "ham of the year" awards and they sell them for 10€ / 100€ as well. Not sure about the price of a whole leg, though... If you ever have the chance, buy a piece of "secreto". It´s quite an unknown piece of the pig and probably the best cut in it.

I'm Italian and I love my prosciutto but I have to admit the first time I had Iberian ham I was just blown away.

Anyway at least 90% come from some spanish region. As the video taught you, there are seals on every piece that say, without a doubt, that those pigs are breed in very strict conditions in Spain.

They served (8) of these hams, which did not last long with a guest list of over 800 people. The ham was like eating milk and butter, but with the acorn flavor. It melted in your mouth with out any chewing. It was so good that I decided that waiting in line for ten minutes each time for a few slivers of meat was well worth the wait I didn't know when I would get an opportunity to eat it again.

@@dotiasecas3135 most of your black grade pigs are raised in Alentejo, Portugal. The Spanish buy it from us to cure in Spain. We don’t take anything from you, you take from us, we have the best lands to raise Pata Negra, and the best, purest breed, that’s why Spanish businesses pay us millions every year in land rentals and pig to export to Spain. The best Spanish ham is Portuguese ;)

Salting pork was a way to store food for long periods of time, so that if you ever do run out of food, you can have a safety net. It's also delicious. If you were hungry now, you'd just eat it now, and salt whatever you know you woul not eat right away.

@claytonpaisley9721 4 года назад

Traditionally, here in the Carolina appalachians, hogs were run in the woods and grew on acorns and hickory nuts. Mostly they were killed in fall and cured as ham and salt pork in barrels, but the cold mountain air let them make amazing slow cured hams, smoked and unsmoked, in a similar process to this. If you are lucky enough to find a local butcher shop or someone from a family that has always raised hogs, they will often have a special "old country style" ham which is cured for a year and develops a "rind" like these. They are amazing and delicious but often not appreciated by outsiders... yet they are so similar to what is shown here. Who knew a tradition that seems humble and quaint shared so much in common with something so fancy? Makes me proud of our food culture.

This process is called "dry rendering" and it turns even the worst cuts meat into something divine. As humans we are looking for flavors that indicate easily digestible protein chains, and fatty carbohydrates. Dry rendering essentially concentrates these 2 flavor and breaks down the complex chains into simple chains. You can tell you've done it properly because the meat will be a deep crimson from trapping all the exposed hemoglobin inside the muscle tissue. Literally any meat could be this wonderful, but spain is the only ones who get this. It is not functional or healthy to eat meat like the US does but we do love our $4 burgers. America is the reason America can't have nice things. This whole country could learn a thing or two from "dopamine restriction". Enough rant. Looks divine.
