Description

Ham pâté is a smooth and creamy preparation made primarily from finely chopped or processed cooked ham, blended with lard, spices, and other ingredients that provide texture and flavor. This pâté is commonly used as a spread for breads, crackers, or vegetables, offering a delicate and slightly salty flavor ideal for appetizers and starters.

The origin of ham pâté lies in European tradition, particularly in France and Spain, where cured meats and cold cuts have been a fundamental part of the cuisine. Over time, this preparation became popular in many Latin American countries, adapting to local tastes.

Among its properties, ham pâté is a good source of protein from pork, and it usually contains fats that provide energy. Its calorie content can vary depending on the additional ingredients used. Generally, it is an ingredient that should be kept refrigerated and consumed fresh to avoid bacterial growth.

Regarding its synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, depending on the region, it may be found under names such as paste de jamón, fiambre de jamón, or simply paté when the context refers to a meat spread.
