Jamón Ibérico (Iberian ham) is the star of Spanish gastronomy and the most recognized Spanish product in the world. For Spaniards it has a prominent place in the kitchen, both in restaurants and at home. The curing process is considered an almost sacred art. Chorizo and other sausages have been made in Spain for generations, as a way of preserving meat. This has resulted in some of the most powerful natural flavors and strong personality, which are used in everyday life in the preparation of tapas or as ingredients in stews and other dishes.
