THE 10 IBERICO HAM TAPAS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Tapas are one of the most popular traditions in Spain and one of the most characteristic of the country, recognised by international tourism.

And we cannot talk about tapas without, of course, mentioning those whose protagonist is a good Iberian ham, because if there is anything better than a tapa, it is a tapa of Iberian ham or a good quality charcuterie.

Today we share with you the 10 Iberian tapas that you cannot miss if you are a lover and expert of these products.

IBERIAN HAM, CHEESE AND PICOS: A TAPAS OF A LIFETIME

Any self-respecting Iberian ham lover cannot resist the simplicity and exquisiteness of a delicacy like this, which, paired with a good wine, is a must for any self-respecting afternoon/evening of tapas.

We recommend you always have the best sliced Iberian Bellota ham on hand in case you have last-minute guests at home and you still want to show them that tapas are also served at home. And if you're less of a ham lover and more of a charcuterie lover, try a varied tapa with bread picos!

PATATAS BRAVAS IBERICAS: A TWIST

Yes, you read that right, bravas and Iberian. Because no one is stopping you from reinventing the well-known patatas bravas recipe, and what better way to do it than with a good Iberian ham in the form of shavings?

Surprise and conquer your friends in equal parts, we're sure you won't fail with this recipe! You'll need some baked or boiled potatoes, your best version of salsa brava (spicy or not, it's up to you) and some shavings of the best Iberian ham.

 

SHOTS OF SALMOREJO WITH IBERIAN SHAVINGS: A REFRESHING OPTION

This salmorejo with shavings of Iberian shoulder will be your star tapa at any gathering with family or friends. Cut some very fine shavings from the most cured part of the ham and add them to the salmorejo with a chopped hard-boiled egg, delicious! It's amazing how something so simple can be so delicious if you know how to present it properly.

MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH HAM AND DATES: FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO COOK

Mushrooms and mushrooms in general are also a great accompaniment to Iberian ham. You can make a tapa of scrambled mushrooms with Iberian ham or go further and stuff mushrooms with ham and dates, a combination of sweet and savoury that will leave anyone with their mouth open and their stomach begging for more.

 

HAM CROQUETTES: THE TAPA THAT NEVER GOES WRONG

Who has never ended up opting for a classic Iberian ham croquette? It is traditional cuisine in its purest form and one of the tapas that never fails, not only among children, but also among adults.

 

FOR THE SWEET TOOTH

Yes, we know, you're more sweet than savoury, that's OK! We have two tapas for you: the classic melon with ham or the always successful combination of ham, cheese and grapes, a delight!
