What is the most famous and delicious cured ham in the world? Here in Italy we have some fantastic and renowned hams, but if we're talking about "Prosciutto" par excellence, we must, alas, set aside local pride and turn our gaze to the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, specifically to the Sierra de Gredos y Béjar mountain range between the provinces of Ávila and Salamanca. In this area of west-central Spain, the production of Patanegra ham dates back to the 16th century, and today, just as then, the pigs roam freely in the "dehesa," a forest of holm oaks and oaks, where they feed on acorns (bellotas), pasture, and aromatic herbs. Their natural diet, the fat marbled within the muscles from constant movement, and the purity of their wild, Mediterranean-origin breed give Patanegra hams a unique flavor, aroma, and texture. We went to Ávila to seek out the finest ham-producing company, Garrudo Benito SL, an award-winning family business that has been dedicated for generations to processing pork, both Iberico (Patanegra) and Serrano, following a strict quality assurance protocol. In 2016, their Patanegra was named "el mejor jamón ibérico de bellota."
