especially ham,
but I am not sure I could like it this much, photograph EdouardWm/Pixabay, a Spanish
ham producer recently announced that it sold the most expensive piece oftraditional Iberian ham to a Japanese buyer for the price of 12,000 euros
($14,100), Julio Revilla, president of Sierra Mayor Jabugo, an Iberian ham
producer based in Corteconcepción, Spain’s Huelva region, said that the
record-breaking piece of ham was prepared following the strict instructions of
the buyer. They requested that the ham come from an Iberian pig at least two
years old that had been grazing in the mountains of Sierra Mayor for at least
100 days. The animal had to gain at least 100 kilos during the time they spend
grazing and that their diet consisted only of acorns and herbs. Finally, the
curing period for the ham was five years, double the normal curing period for
premium ham,
the
Iberian ham was already featured on Japanese TV show “The Fair Price” and its
owner has been presented with a Guinness Record certificate for the most
expensive piece of ham in the world, a piece
of premium ham prepared by Sierra Mayor Jabugo sells for about 1,500 euros
($1,800) in Spain, but the company claims that the special requirements of the
Japanese client justify the eight-time price increase, as I mentioned I like ham, just not that much!
