Iberico Ham

Parma ham is undoubtedly the most well-known ham from Italy, but did you know that Iberico ham is the most costly ham on the planet? Spanish Iberian ham is a delicacy made from the hind legs of black pigs. These black pigs forage on acorns, or bellota in Spanish, in the woods. Jamón Iberico de Bellota is the entire name. This ham is also known as Pata Negra, which means black paw, and gets its taste from the oleic acid found in acorns.

The age of Iberian ham ranges from 24 to 36 months. An entire leg of jamón ibérico can cost as much as $4,500. On the plus side, once the vacuum pack is opened, the ham will last for up to one month.
