Jamón - Simply means Ham!

Jamón, in general English parlance, refers to a cured ham from Spain. There are two primary types of jamón: Jamón serrano (meaning ham from the sierra or mountains) and Jamón ibérico(ham from the Black Iberian Pig).In Spanish jamón simply means ham, thus cooked sliced ham, for example, is called jamón de York (York ham). This is exactly the same as with the Italian prosciutto, which in Italy is any ham, in English is only dry-cured uncooked ham.
