After the premiere of the second season of “I’m Georgina” on Netflix, the couple and mother of Cristiano Ronaldo’s children revealed a guilty pleasure that they cannot get rid of, even if they wanted to; we refer to the Iberian, which he boasts so much at various times in the series.

But do you know what exactly they are? “A good Iberian ham for me means joy, I couldn’t live without Iberian hams,” revealed Georgina Rodríguez, who has become a trend not only for this phrase, but for others that she reveals in the streaming platform.

WHAT ARE THE IBÉRICOS?

Ibericos are an expensive ham that can only be purchased in exclusive stores; since it is considered an article of haute cuisine and an exquisite delicacy. In other words, an Iberian ham is a type of Serrano ham from the Iberian breed of pig, which is highly regarded in Spanish and Portuguese gastronomy.

For its production, the piece must have at least 50% purity of this breed to be called “Iberian ham”, says the University of Córdoba in Spain.

HOW IS IBERIAN HAM OBTAINED?

Due to its high quality, the pigs from which it comes must be raised in extensive freedom. As for its diet, exclusively acorns or nuts.

Once the animal benefits, a period of between 24 and 48 months will be required to cure the ham, a time that will depend on the size of the piece. This will be reflected in the price to be paid by whoever requires it.

A GUILTY PLEASURE

“I eat a lot and people have said to me: ‘Why don’t you go on a diet?’ and I say: ‘Me? With the energy I need to face one day’”, was one of the phrases he said in his series. For this reason, Georgina Rodríguez does not hesitate to take this food with her when she travels anywhere, such as we saw her eating on her private plane.
