Worth every penny -Spanish/Portuguese Iberico ham is sensational, melts in your mouth whilst bursting with flavour. As good as the best: Japanese Tuna Sashimi, Scottish grass fed Rib Eye steak, Iclandic Cod, US CheeseBurger, Bordeaux Wine, Thai Dom Yum Goong, Indian Tandori Chicken, Chineese Peeking Duck, Berlin Curryworst, Portuguese Custard Tart, Italian Margarita Pizza, French Butter Croissants or even Mcdonald’s French Fries!

So in the end, they can have a product that will taste very similarly, but they will have to sell them under different name.
- dagw 9y agoThe US isn't as strict as Europe when it comes to enforcing those sorts of rules. For example you can buy bottles of US made sparkling wine labeled "California Champagne" and various cheese like products labeled "Parmensan" that have never been anywhere near Italy.
- ycombobreaker 9y agoAs i understand it "Parmigiano Reggiano" is the protected term. Parmesan cheese is the whatever-product.
- dagw 9y agoThat might be true for the US, in the EU both Parmigiano Reggiano and Parmesan cheese are protected.

- dagw 9y agoWorth every penny Yes and no. Plenty of "good enough" Spanish/Portuguese Iberico ham is definitely worth it. The super high end stuff costing ~€100/kg that this article seems to largely be about I probably wouldn't consider "worth every penny" and I'd probably rather have twice as much ham costing 'only' €50/kg given a choice.
- bambax 9y agoHave you tried bellota? It's very different from "simple" spanish ham, and, IMHO, well worth the extra price.
