Why is Jamón Ibérico (Iberian ham) considered the best?

Although it is pretentious to say so, Iberian ham is the jewel in the crown, the most prized range and one of the star products of world gastronomy. This type of ham comes from a unique breed in the world: the Iberian pig. Most of the pigs that belong to this breed live for a long period in a very unique environment: the dehesas (Mediterranean wild pastureland). Here they feed on the famous acorns, which give rise to the name “jamón de bellota ibérico”. Moreover, the curing time of the leg exceeds three years and the treatment it receives during the process is truly exclusive. Iberian ham not only attracts us by the name itself, but -once we taste it- its intense and addictive flavour that conquers.

为什么Jamón Ibérico（伊比利亚火腿）被认为是最好的？

虽然这样说很自命不凡，但伊比利亚火腿是皇冠上的宝石，是最珍贵的系列，是世界美食的明星产品之一。这种类型的火腿来自于世界上独一无二的品种：伊比利亚猪。属于这一品种的大多数猪长期生活在一个非常独特的环境中：dehesas（地中海野生牧场）。在这里，它们以著名的橡子为食，这就是 "伊比利亚橡果火腿 "名称的由来。此外，猪腿的腌制时间甚至能超过三年以上，而且在腌制过程中得到的待遇是真正的独一无二。伊比利亚火腿不仅以其名称本身吸引我们，而且一旦我们品尝它，它的强烈和令人上瘾的味道就会征服我们。
