Is ham bacon good?

Today, we're clearing up one of the most common doubts our customers have about the fat in Iberian ham.

The fat in ham, considering it as the marbling within the meat, is very flavorful and its consumption is recommended. If it's from Iberian acorn-fed ham, it's more transparent and dissolves better between your fingers, as it has a higher concentration of oleic acid, a sign of higher quality.

On the contrary, the fat in white pork has a whiter tone and doesn't dissolve as easily between your fingers.
