Spanish Investment Immigration focuses on Living Guide in Spain: Ham is a very famous ingredient in Spain, and this special ham is called jamón in Spanish, specifically meant to be eaten raw. It is said that jamón can be further categorized based on the type of pig. In Madrid, there is a very famous ham shop called Museo del Jamon, which offers everything from affordable options to high-end products, with prices ranging from a dozen euros per kilogram for the cheaper ones to over a hundred euros per kilogram for the more expensive varieties.
The name literally translates to Ham Museum, and Museo del Jamon is definitely very famous in Madrid. It seems that this place does not only sell ham; the second floor is a restaurant, while the first floor allows you to buy ham to take away or simply enjoy it on-site. Visually, Spanish ham bears a significant resemblance to Chinese southern-style cured meat, as it is air-dried on the outside. However, unlike cured meat, once sliced, Spanish ham is undeniably tender, with the pinkish meat inside making it very tempting to eat.
Here, due to the wide variety available, the staff will cut the ham for you after you have made your selection, which feels a bit like having lamb slices prepared in China. The knife skills are impressive, and each slice is very thin, glistening under the light.
This ham is already cured, so it has a salty flavor, and when chewed, it is both chewy and retains the tenderness of fresh meat. In summary, I feel that Spanish ham, much like this nation, is full of exciting elements. I once heard a Spaniard say that at weddings, ham is as indispensable as the bride, and now it seems there is truth to that.
