Description

Deli ham is a type of cooked and thinly sliced ham, very popular for making sandwiches, salads, and other quick dishes. It is characterized by its soft texture, slightly salty flavor, and delicate aroma, making it a versatile and easy-to-combine ingredient.

This ham is usually made from lean cuts of pork, which are cured and cooked to maintain a tender and juicy texture. It is a processed product that can be found in most supermarkets and delicatessen stores.

The origin of deli ham has its roots in traditional European curing and cooking techniques, particularly from countries like Spain and Germany, which later became popular in Latin America and the United States as ingredients for fast and home-cooked meals.

Properties: Deli ham is a good source of protein and low in carbohydrates, although it may contain sodium and fats depending on the type and manufacturing process. Moderate consumption is recommended as part of a balanced diet.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different countries it is also known as jamón de fiambre, jamón para sándwich, jamón frío, or simply fiambre. These terms refer to a similar processed ham, ideal for quick and practical preparations.
