Jamón (; : jamones) is a type of dry-cured ham produced in Spain. It is one of the most globally recognised food items of Spanish cuisine. It is also regularly a component of tapas.
Jamón is the Spanish word for ham. As such, other ham products produced or consumed in Spanish-speaking countries are also called by this name. In Spain, the term jamón serrano is sometimes used to avoid confusion.
