Whether you know about ham or not, whether you like it or no... ham?
Most importantly, it is popularly known as Pata Negra to the 100% Iberico Bellota ham, i.e, that which is obtained from pigs fed on acorns and natural herbs, who have made the montanera season and who are descended from two Iberian progenitors.
The colour of their hoof is the reason why they are called by this name. Nevertheless it should be noted that it does not always have to be black. Some pigs of other species, such as Duroc, may also have a hoof of this colour. On the other hand, sometimes those of the breed of our peninsula may not have this color, although it is unusual.

If it is long and stylish, it will be Iberian.
