Spanish Jamon Iberico Industry Prepares For Busy Christmas Period

SALAMANCA, SPAIN - DECEMBER 14: Iberian Pigs feed on fallen acorns at the farm of Faustino Prieto in the village of Cespedosa on December 14, 2012 near Salamanca, Spain. Dry-cured Iberian ham or Jamon Iberico is a favourite amongst Spaniards and producers are hoping for improved sales over the busy christmas period. The jamon legs are usually dry-cured for up to three years after the pigs have been few on a diet of acorns in the last three months of their lives. (Photo by Denis Doyle/Getty Images)
