Jamón
(Redirected from Jamón Serrano)
Jamón is a type of cured meat from Spain, specifically a ham that has been preserved through salting and air drying. The term "jamón" is derived from the Spanish word "jamo", which means ham. There are two primary types of jamón: Jamón serrano and Jamón ibérico.
Etymology
The term "jamón" is derived from the Spanish word "jamo", which means ham. The word "jamo" itself is believed to have originated from the Latin word "gamba", meaning leg.
Types of Jamón
There are two primary types of jamón: Jamón serrano and Jamón ibérico.
Jamón serrano
Jamón serrano is a type of cured ham produced in Spain. It is made from the landrace breed of white pig and is generally served raw in thin slices. The curing process for jamón serrano can last up to 18 months.
Jamón ibérico
Jamón ibérico, also known as "pata negra", is a type of cured ham produced in Spain and Portugal. It is made from the black Iberian pig and is also served raw in thin slices. The curing process for jamón ibérico can last up to 36 months.
Production
The production of jamón involves a lengthy process of salting and air drying. The ham is first cleaned and trimmed, then stacked and covered with salt for about two weeks to draw out excess moisture and preserve the meat. The salt is then washed off and the ham is hung to dry for about six months. Finally, the ham is aged in a cool, dry place for up to two years.
Consumption
Jamón is typically consumed as is, sliced thin and served raw. It is a common feature in Spanish cuisine and is often served as part of a tapas platter. It can also be used in cooking and is a popular ingredient in many Spanish dishes.
