Buy or Bye to Spanish Jamón 🇪🇸🍖
BUY!!! (but only if you are in Spain)
Any Spanish person will tell you that jamón is superior and not like anything you’ve ever had. But honestly, it tastes a lot like prosciutto. If you are in Spain you should definitely try it though, just like how if you are in Italy you have to try pizza. It is a treasured cuisine in Spain and affordable too!
However, if you are outside of Spain the shipping up charge you would pay for the jamón is not worth it. So definitely try it when you are in Spain, but no need to go out of your way to try it either!

Spanish Jamón, known for its rich flavor and unique production process, is often compared to Italian prosciutto but has distinct characteristics. This dried cured ham, especially the Jamón Ibérico, offers a variety of taste profiles depending on the pig breed and diet, which includes acorns for the Iberico variety. When traveling in Spain, trying Jamón isn’t just encouraged; it's part of enjoying the culture. Many local bars and restaurants serve it with bread and cheese, creating a delightful tapas experience. However, outside of Spain, the price significantly increases due to shipping and import fees, making it less desirable. This highlights the importance of enjoying authentic experiences while traveling, allowing you to savor local cuisines in their native land. Don’t forget to ask locals for the best places to buy quality Jamón or sample it freshly sliced, as each region might offer its unique twist on this traditional treat.
Yes yes! I love love Jamon in Spain!! I also discovered Sobrasada while in Spain and Oh. My. Goodness!!!! I really wish we had the amazing food that Spain has to offer. Delicious!
