Parts of the Ham

The different parts of the ham provide different degrees of curing and different types of slices.

[1] La Maza : The largest part of the ham and the tastiest.
[2] La Babilla o Contramaza: behind the hoof. It is narrower and cured because it has less fat. We recommend you to start cutting here because it won’t be too much dry as if you left it to the end.
[3] El Codillo: It is the more fibrous part of the whole piece.
[4] La Punta: totally opposed to the hoof. It is very tasty and has a nice level of fat.
[5] La Caña: The closest part to the hoof. Being also very fibrous, this part is usually cut in small cubs. This form provides different flavour and texture.

The Pata Negra, Spanish Iberian

pata negra, iberian iberico spanish bellota ham jamón

The term “Pata Negra” refers to the Spanish Iberian breed. The reason is that the black hoof most Iberian pigs have, “pata negra” means black paw. Nowadays the label "pata negra" is also used as a distinction of gourmet products.

However, not all Iberian hams have black hoof and not all the hams which have black hoof are Iberian hams.

The different branches of the Iberian breed pigs may have hoofs not always black. We can find red Iberian pigs or stained Iberian pigs which can have clear or light hoof.
