About Serrano ham
Serrano ham is a Spanish dry-cured ham made from pork leg. It is typically sold in thin slices, with a firm, slightly yielding texture and a savoury, concentrated flavour. The meat is pink to red, with visible fat that can contribute richness and aroma.
It is sold bone-in, boneless, or pre-sliced and packaged; curing time and resulting texture and saltiness vary. “Serrano” identifies a traditional style of cured ham, but the name alone does not specify a particular producer, ageing period, or cut. It is eaten sliced or used as a cooking ingredient.
