The Jamón book for dummies (only in Spanish available)

From beginner to expert in a few pages

Ham is the standard-bearer of Spanish gastronomy and as such, at Enrique Tomás we care for it, we value it and we work with all possible delicacy. In order to fulfil our objective of making a name for ham in the world, we want to show you all the keys to ham and not just the end result of a long process. We want you to enjoy yourself, but we also want to teach you everything there is behind the scenes in the world of ham, we want you to master the theory and become, like us, expert ham makers.

With this book, Ham for Dummies, we want you to learn everything about ham, we know you know how to eat it, but do you know where ham originated, its history or all the details about pigs, the wonderful and exclusive Iberian pigs or that there is also very good ham made from white pigs... A complete guide with theory, curiosities, processes and everything you have always wanted to know or that has always caused you to doubt about ham, that delicious food that we love so much and makes us so happy.

A very complete summary
