serrano ham
Dry-cured pork leg
Serrano ham is a dry-cured Spanish ham, aged for months or years until firm and intensely flavored.
The name means "mountain ham," referring to the cool, dry highlands where it traditionally cures.
Sliced thin and served uncooked, it appears on charcuterie boards and in tapas: We ordered serrano ham with manchego cheese.
