Product Insights
Jamón Serrano is a Spanish dry‑cured pork ham that falls under the Fish Meat Eggs group of the PNNS classification, specifically as a processed meat. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 3, offering a high protein content (33.5 g per 100 g) and lower fat and sugar than many processed meats, but it also contains 3.6 g of salt per 100 g and four additives (E331, E301, E252, E250). Consequently, while it provides a dense source of protein, its elevated sodium level and inclusion of preservatives mean it should be eaten in moderation, especially by individuals watching their salt intake.
