Jamon Iberico is a type of ham that is made in the region of Castile and León in Spain. It is considered to be one of the world's finest hams, and its flavor is said to be unique. Jamon Iberico is produced from a special breed of pig known as the Javanese Bako. The Bako pigs are raised on organic farms and given a natural diet that includes roots, herbs, and other vegetation. The key to the jamon's unique flavor is its fat content. Unlike other types of pork, the Bako pig has a high amount of unsaturated fats which gives the jamon its characteristic richness and flavor. Other factors that contribute to the jamon's distinctive taste include cooking techniques and ingredients used in preparation.
