Ham is a classic cut of pork and is enjoyed around the world in so many different ways. What is so fascinating about traveling is seeing how people eat so differently at times but also so similar. If you are a ham lover and want to travel the world, you can’t miss out on these types of ham.
Jamon Iberico
This type of ham hails from Spain, where they use a special kind of pig to create the ham that is more than 50% genetically an Iberian pig. This type of pig roams freely in Spain and feast on acorns, giving them more muscle and flavor than standard ham.
Prosciutto di Parma
This Italian ham is one of the better-known hams in the world and is super flavorful. Most of the hams are aged for 18 months and can be found with just about everything in Italy. From fruit to pizza to pasta, you can’t miss it.
Deli Ham
Although many people think the deli sliced ham is strictly an American dish, it is actually a really common breakfast item for people in Brazil! They eat it with cheese and bread but interestingly enough, never eat it for any other meal during the day.
