World's Most Expensive Ham 世上最貴的火腿
We all like to eat well, and sometimes it's worthspending that little bit extra in order to get the bestfood available, but how many of us would consider spending nearly ￡2,000 (22,000 yuan) fora pig's leg?
British gourmets with money to burn are licking their lips at the thought of a Spanish hamthat has gone on sale this week at shop in London.
The 7kg leg of Iberico ham costs ￡1,800 (19,800 yuan) and even comes with its own DNAcertificate to guarantee authenticity.
Cured ham has long been enjoyed as an expensive delicacy around the world but the heftyprice tag attached to these hams sets them apart from other similar products.
The reason they are so costly is because they come from a group of only 50 black Iberian pigspersonally selected and reared by a third-generation Iberian pig farmer and curer.
Each pig has been fed on a special diet of acorns and roots to give the ham its distinctiveflavour, and given a pasture of ten hectares each to live in.
After, what is by pig standards, an idyllic life of roaming oak groves and feeding naturally, thepigs are slaughtered and the curing process begins.
To make jamon iberico, as it is called in Spanish, the hams are salted and left to dry for twoweeks, then they are rinsed and dried for another four to six weeks.
The dry hams are then hung in a cool, dry place for between 12 and 36 months before beingmade available to the public.
These kinds of ham are served raw in very thin slices and usually eaten as an appetiser.According to the London store selling the world's most expensive ham, the taste more thanjustifies the price tag.
"Connoisseurs will appreciate the melt-in-the-mouth texture of this truly amazing Spanishham," said a spokesman.

我們都喜歡吃好一點(diǎn)，有時(shí)為了吃到最好的食物，多花一點(diǎn)錢(qián)也是值得的。但是有多少人會(huì )考慮花費接近2,000英鎊(22,000元)來(lái)買(mǎi)一條豬腿呢?
一想到倫敦一家商店即將出售的西班牙火腿，英國有花不完的錢(qián)的美食家們就垂涎三尺。
伊比利(Iberico)火腿每條重達7千克，每條高達1,800英鎊，每條都有DNA證書(shū)證明其真實(shí)性。
火腿一直被世界各地譽(yù)為昂貴的美味佳肴，但是這些火腿上面昂貴的價(jià)格標簽將它們與其他類(lèi)似產(chǎn)品區別開(kāi)來(lái)。
這些火腿如此昂貴是因為，它們來(lái)自第三代伊比利養豬專(zhuān)家親自挑選并飼養的僅有的50頭豬。
每頭豬都用特別的橡果和樹(shù)根制成的特別膳食飼養，使火腿具有特別的風(fēng)味，而且每頭豬都有10公頃牧場(chǎng)的活動(dòng)范圍。
按照豬的標準，經(jīng)過(guò)在橡樹(shù)叢中徜徉和自然喂養的田園詩(shī)般的生活之后，這些豬被屠宰，開(kāi)始了腌制的過(guò)程。
為了制成伊比利火腿，這些火腿用鹽腌制，懸掛兩周的時(shí)間來(lái)風(fēng)干，隨后用水沖洗，再風(fēng)干4至6周的時(shí)間。
隨后將風(fēng)干的火腿懸掛在干燥涼爽的環(huán)境下12至36周到時(shí)間，之后才會(huì )推向市場(chǎng)。
這種火腿都是切成薄片生著(zhù)提供，通常是作為開(kāi)胃菜。據出售這種世界最貴火腿的倫敦商場(chǎng)所說(shuō)，這種火腿的風(fēng)味絕對可以證明這個(gè)價(jià)格是合理的。
“行家會(huì )喜歡這種令人驚嘆的西班牙火腿入口即化的感覺(jué)�！币幻l(fā)言人說(shuō)。
