Cured ham is a national dish which Spain is proud of. It’s a completely natural product, free of flavor enhancers. Pigs for this product grow in freedom and are fed on natural food. Researches conducted by scientists have proved that prime Spanish ham is low in calories (there are only 242 calories in 100 grams of prime Spanish ham) and rich in B vitamins and other minerals. Oleic acid, which olive oil is rich of, forms over 50 percent of all fats in the Spanish ham. It is a natural antioxidant that can reduce the level of cholesterol and the risk of heart diseases.
