Jamón Serrano vs Jamón Ibérico

The difference between Serrano Ham and Jamón Ibérico lies mainly in the breed of the pigs and the curing process. Jamón Serrano comes from white pig breeds, such as Duroc or Large White, and is primarily cured with salt, resulting in a mild and less complex flavor. In contrast, Jamón Ibérico comes from Ibérico pig breeds, which have a unique ability to infiltrate fat into the muscle, and are often fed on acorns and grass in dehesas, giving them a richer, more complex flavor and a smoother texture. Additionally, the curing process for Jamón Ibérico is generally longer, contributing to its superior quality and more elaborate flavor profile.
