      @MrMyopinionsmatter I'm not from either country, but lived for a reasonable amount of time in both Italy and Spain. Let me tell you, Iberian ham ("pata negra" or "ibérico de bellota") is in a league of its own. Comparing any other ham to it wouldn't be fair.

    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. The acorn essence was definitely there and with the best prosciutto I'd had to that point had would have a more "buttery" fat, the Spanish ham was even more buttery and flavourful. Amazing stuff!

      ​@@brunocesar302 No. That is just false. If you go to the supermarket you can find many, many hams from different provenances. That doesn't mean all of them come from Portugal. That is stupid, plain and simple. Maybe 1% come from Portugal, as there are also some lower quality hams that come from Hungary and other european countries. 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. You can't fake those, unless you want to get a fine so big your company will end dead and buried.

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.

    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.

      Lo común es 1 cerdo por hectárea de bosque de encinas, para que los cerdos tengan suficientes bellotas. Conozco una finca de 250 hectáreas y tiene unos 180 cerdos ibéricos. Sólo por la cantidad enorme de bosque que necesita cada cerdo, es imposible que el jamón ibérico sea barato. Este estilo de cría del cerdo es lo más alejado que hay a una granja industrial.

    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".

    In Spain this is probably our most valued food. Not only in terms of price but in terms of flavor and culture.
    It is quite usual to buy a leg for the family during Christmas and good firms typically send a basket of food products containing a paleta. Indeed it is becoming pretty common to have a person cut a ham leg for the guests of a wedding before the actual feast starts.
    Little advice: Do not tell Spaniards you do not like it or you will be treated like a weird person.

    Wooow finally a decent video of our best product!! I'm from Huelva and it's an honor you decided to make a video about it. For those of you who hasn't tried it yet, give it a try. Way way way better than Italian "prosciutto". Unfortunately it's not allowed to send to the US. Lots of Spaniards in the US fight to try to get it. Hahaha
