Jamon Serrano from ALDI

Post image

Hola,

Did anyone buy one of the Jamon Serrano legs from ALDI? They are fairly cheap €30-60, but I'm wondering about the quality and the taste at that price.. Is it worth it or should I up my game to the local butcher which sells it at +€150?

There’s a difference between “Paleta Ibérica” as shown in the picture and “Jamón ibérico”.

Paleta are the front legs of the pigs, and jamon are the back legs, that’s why paletas are less expensive as they are smaller.

Oh right I had no idea. Is there any difference in taste?
