Spanish Ham: Iberian Vs Serrano

October 03, 2025 bypor La despensa Showroom

Spain produces some of the best ham products in the world and is understandably proud of the Iberian pig which is specially bred to produce the finest ham. When it comes to choosing between Serrano and  Iberico ham, it may seem that we are talking about two very similar products, especially at first glance. Despite the fact that ultimately, a leg of pork is the origin of both products, there is actually a big difference between them when it comes to the colour, flavour and texture of the product and of course, this is reflected in the price.  

Variations in the breed of pigs used, the curing time and the pig's diet all make a difference and here is a summary of the main characteristics to help you decide. (Of course, the best way to form an opinion is to try both types and see which you prefer).
