Primary Menu – THE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE – WHICH AN EXCEPTIONAL ÚN1CO HAM OFFERS US THE BENEFITS OF IBERIAN HAM Iberian ham is one of the greatest treasures of Spanish gastronomy, a delicacy that nourishes both the body and soul. In addition, its high levels of oleic acid make it one of the healthiest foods in the Mediterranean diet. Iberian ham provides us with the essential vitamins of the B group; vitamin B1, B2, B6 and B12, as well as vitamin E. As for minerals, calcium, iron and zinc stand out. 100 grams of acorn-fed Iberian ham provide 20% of the iron a person should consume daily (between 3 and 4 mg per 100 grams of ham). HIGH NUTRITIONAL VALUE Low calorie. High protein and contains all of the essential amino acids that we cannot synthesize and that our body needs. High contribution of monounsaturated fatty acids. It is necessary to take into account the mineral content, highlighting the iron, which is characterized by its easy absorption compared to vegetable iron, which is more difficult to assimilate. Zinc, potassium, calcium and phosphorus are other minerals which can be found in ham. Let’s not forget the vitamins, especially of the B group, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6) and niacin (B3). RICH IN OLEIC ACID More than 50 % of the total fatty acids correspond to oleic acid. It is a monounsaturated fatty acid of the omega-9 with multiple health benefits. GOOD CHOLESTEROL The high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce total cholesterol levels and total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), popularly called bad cholesterol, and increase the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, popularly called good cholesterol. They reduce triglyceride levels. The High triglycerides can contribute to the hardening of the arteries or the thickening of artery walls (atherosclerosis), which increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease. ANTIOXIDANT The consumption of Iberian ham has an antioxidant effect due to the high percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, and other ham components such as vitamin E and carnitine, abundant in acorns. We mature our hams using a traditional, unique and 100% natural production process, which for five generations has allowed us to produce a ham free of additives and preservatives, thanks to curing it only with sea salt.
