Raw ham with hooves and bones is the most delicious gastronomic specialty in Spain and the strongest symbolic totem in this macho country. Spaniards love raw ham, of course, the grade is also very different, the so-called "ham Jamón" refers to the hind legs, "front legs Paleta" has less meat, the meat is harder. Generally common is "mountain ham Jamón Serrano", made of general white pork leg after marinating and air-drying, the more advanced mountain ham after more than a year of air drying aging, the taste is rich and quite delicious, Spanish raw ham almost all only seasoned with coarse salt, and only naturally air-dried, rare smoked ham, very simple and natural. Because of the hoof bone pickling, when eating it must be cut by hand, in the Taba bar there is often a person responsible for cutting raw ham at the bar, although these hams have been aged for a long time, but everything will soon become dry and tasteful, so it must be cut on call.
