- lobster_johnson 9y agoNote that "serrano" is not as strictly protected as a term as ibérico, which needs to confirm to the rules of the Denominación de Origen [1]. Only a handful of serrano brands are D. O. (and will be clearly marked as such on the packaging), and the stuff sold in American supermarkets, for example, generally aren't among those brands. That doesn't mean that you can't find good, cheap "plain" serrano, of course. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominaci%C3%B3n_de_Origen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominaci%C3%B3n_de_Origen
- partycoder 9y agoJamón Serrano does not have Spanish DO protection status but has an European agricultural protection status known as TSG. This denomination establishes that the ingredients/materials and quality are subject to certain standard for that given product (but does not constrain the origin of the product). For a product consumed in a regular basis rather than on special occasions this might be enough.
