Frequently asked questions about Iberian Ham

[FAQ] [Q]What exactly is Iberian ham?[/Q] [A]Iberian ham comes from pigs with at least 50% Iberian breed, raised according to the Iberian Quality Standard (RD 4/2014). This standard establishes three categories based on feed and husbandry: acorn ham, free-range ham, and farmed ham. Only 100% Iberian pigs can produce the so-called acorn-fed pata negra ham, while 75% or 50% Iberian acorn hams are also Iberian but not pata negra.[/A] [Q]How to distinguish Iberian ham from Serrano ham?[/Q] [A]The main difference lies in the breed of the pig. Serrano ham comes from white pigs (Duroc, Landrace, Large White…) and is cured for about 7-12 months. Iberian ham comes from the Iberian pig, a native breed of the Peninsula, and its curing is much longer (24-48 months depending on the category). Visually, Iberian has a characteristic intramuscular fat, a usually dark hoof, and an official color seal (black, red, green, or white) that identifies its category.[/A] [Q]What do the colors of the Iberian ham seals mean?[/Q] [A]The seals are mandatory and certify the category of the ham according to the Iberian standard. The black seal identifies 100% Iberian acorn ham (pata negra). The red seal is for Iberian acorn ham (75% or 50% Iberian). The green seal corresponds to free-range Iberian ham. The white seal is for farmed Iberian ham. These seals are affixed by independent certifying entities and are the best guarantee of what you are buying.[/A] [Q]What is the best way to start and preserve an Iberian ham?[/Q] [A]Ideally, start with the maza (the meatier part, facing up) if you will be consuming it in a few weeks, or with the babilla if it will take longer, as this area dries out faster. Once started, it is advisable to cover the cut area with the ham's own fat or lard and a clean cotton cloth. Keep it at room temperature between 15 and 20 °C, in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. In summer or hot environments, it is best to protect the cut area and avoid drastic temperature fluctuations.[/A] [Q]How long does Iberian ham last once started?[/Q] [A]A whole Iberian ham, once started and well preserved, can last between 4 and 8 weeks in perfect condition. The duration depends greatly on the consumption: the longer it takes to finish, the more the cut area will dry out, and the first slices will need to be discarded with each use. If it is sliced and vacuum-packed, it can be stored in the refrigerator for several months, although we recommend consuming it within 3-4 months to enjoy its full flavor and aroma.[/A]
