Here is an addict to Iberian Acorn Ham!!! Nothing compares to it, I love it! I wrote about it in my blog some months ago and in the same post you will find a link to a shop in Barcelona where they have best quality Iberian acorn hams. They have their own web where you can buy online and prices are not that crazy. If you want to check, here it is: http://recipespicbypic.blogspot.com/2007/12/iberian-acorn-ham.html Hi Ben!

Seriously now, I read a few weeks ago that they were now letting Spanish ham through the US frontier (I did not read about the Canadian one, though). Don't quote me on this as I cannot find my source, but it may be something you might want to investigate if you are from or travelling to the US.

The difference is that "serrano" is obtained from pigs of white layer, servants generally in intensive regime, fed with piensos, which have a high percentage of cereals. The "ibéricos" comes from an Iberian pig that has been fed on mixed form: with acorns, grass and with piensos. And, It is true: makes you feel somehow closer to heaven, jajaja!! Hello!

If you're returning to Canada, it may well be the single worst souvenir. That's because, if you're trying to bring some nice jamón back for your loved ones here, you'll discover it's the customs officials who get to keep it. And although I'm sure many of them are nice people, it's a little hard to like them (let alone love them) when they confiscate all meat products entering the country, especially those precious vacuum-packed strips of jamón iberico...
