Mercadona Serrano Ham

Mercadona Serrano Ham is a private-label product offered by the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. The product is derived from traditional Spanish curing methods, specifically Serrano ham (Jamón Serrano), which is a staple of Mediterranean gastronomy. The production typically involves salting and air-drying pork legs in cool, dry conditions to develop its characteristic flavor and texture. Mercadona sources these products from specialized local Spanish meat producers like Incarlopsa or Casa Tarradellas, ensuring that the manufacturing remains within Spain. As a private label, while the branding belongs to Mercadona, the ultimate production often supports various local agricultural entities across different Spanish regions. Mercadona itself is a family-owned Spanish multinational retail chain founded by Francisco Roig Ballester and currently led by Juan Roig, with its headquarters located in Tavernes Blanques, Valencia.
