As we all know, there are eight major cuisines in my country, each of which has countless special snacks. Just hearing the names of the dishes can make people salivate! Every time you go to a city, you can taste the most authentic local delicacies, such as the famous Beijing roast duck, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo elbow, steamed Wuchang fish, Sichuan spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, etc. If you count them all, you will probably eat them in ten years. Not complete. But there are also many authentic delicacies abroad. Let’s follow the editor to learn about the world-renowned Iberico ham from Spain!

From the perspective of market supply and demand, rare things are more valuable. The raw materials for making Iberian ham are selected from the unique local Iberian pigs. The selection, breeding and slaughter of the pigs must be strictly managed. The breeding environment of Iberian pigs is very superior. They are raised in a rubber pasture, eating wild forage grass and wild fruits, and drinking natural stream water. It takes nearly 2 years of growth from cubs to slaughter. It can be seen that, High-quality Iberian pork is in very short supply, resulting in the price of Iberian ham being much higher than other hams. One Iberian ham is worth as much as 30,000 yuan! It is no exaggeration to say that Ibérico ham rivals the price of gold.

What’s more important is that the post-production process of Iberian ham is particularly complicated and time-consuming. The first step is to remove the thick grease, marinate it with coarse salt for half a month, and then wash it. The ham is stored in a low-temperature storage room for two months. After the meat quality stabilizes, it is hung in a dry and ventilated place to dry for up to a year. At this time, the ham has reached the standard for consumption, but in order to taste better, it needs to be dried It continues to mature for a period of time in the cellar, resulting in a top-quality Ibérico ham.

When it comes out of the cellar, the ham will be snapped up by customers who come to buy it. Then Ibérico ham will appear on the tables of major high-end hotels, just a few simple slices of Ibérico ham. It's enough. No garnishing is needed. Just imagine putting a piece of ham in your mouth, chewing it gently, and then sipping a sip of red wine. How delicious it would be? The editor would never dare to think of such an expensive ham, but Dongpo pork elbow is more suitable for me.
