Its rich, its stinky, its powerful, its wonderful. Dry cured. Oily. Strong flavored.
Got home today and found out that my wife bought me a entire Iberian Ham.
It is to ham what Wagyu or Kobe is to beef. Its from pigs raised in fields on the Iberian peninsula that are fed acorns. The pigs are pampered and treated well...right up until they are slaughtered for my table!
Some of you may remember that my wife surprised me with one of these a year or so ago? This one is a higher grade than that one, and I didn't complain!!!
Cutting into it now.
Oh, and she got some Iberian sausages and chorizos too!
