Jamon Serrano - a Spanish stapleJamon Serrano, or Serrano ham, is a particularly Spanish food. The nearest thing to it is the Italian prosciutto. Photo: Awersowy
Thereafter, the hams take their place on a special stand behind the bar in typical Spanish tapas bars and, indeed, slices of the food form a very popular Spanish tapa. I've found that it is quite often this ham that is served up in British restaurants as an accompaniment to melon. If this ham is not of very good quality, then it can be quite tough to eat, but a decent cut of this meat is succulent and tasty. The ham is more flavoursome than country ham and has less fat than prosciutto. The long curing process significantly enhances the flavour. If you order this in a tapas bar, you'll be served with several slices on a plate (as in the image above) and the ham is eaten raw, often with something else, such as Manchego cheese.
