About this deal
On the other hand, the inedible fat is yellow and surrounds the ham; this fat should be thrown away. There is a general fear of fats, as they're often associated with causing all our health problems and/or weight gain. Fat of Iberian hams is rich in omega 3, folic acid and vitamin E (among many other nutrients), which protects against neurodegeneration.
That’s why those thin Iberico cured ham slices release their famous cacophony of flavors as soon as they touch your tongue.
One of the by-products of the hams and charcuterie, that is their main business, is this beautiful, sweet, acorn rich lard.
Finally, although this option is not edible, we will tell you that there is a cosmetic alternative, making soaps (like those of a lifetime) from the fat of the Iberian ham.This ibérico lard is produced by a specialist company that raises and slaughters its own herds of ibérico pigs.
