Serrano Ham and Cured Ham are not the same.
The only point in common with each other is kind of ham it is that both come from white pig. Nevertheless, the key aspect that distinguishes them is not the kind of pork, but healing product. While in the case of prosciutto minimal healing time it is 11 months, in the cured ham does not exceed 7 months. Herein lies the great distinction between the two, in a longer cure ham can develop its full aroma and flavor, which increases its quality.
Also, Serrano ham is certified Traditional Specialty Guaranteed thing cured ham possesses no quality designation.

– Reservation: Serranos curing hams 12 a 15 months.
– Gran Reserva: Serranos cure hams with more than 15 months.
