Serrano Ham vs Ibérico Ham

The main difference between Serrano ham and Ibérico ham lies in the breed of the pigs and their diet. Serrano comes from white pig breeds, such as Duroc or Large White, and is primarily cured with salt, which gives a more salty flavor. In contrast, Ibérico comes from Ibérico pig breeds, which are distinguished by their ability to infiltrate fat into the muscle and are often fed on acorns and grass in dehesas, giving them a more complex flavor and a softer texture. Additionally, the curing process for Ibérico ham is generally longer than that of Serrano, contributing to its superior taste and quality.
