Nutritional values

Olives and oil provide unsaturated fatty acids that protect the heart and circulation. Manchego cheese contains a lot of calcium for healthy bones, and the delicious Spanish Serrano ham shines with an extra portion of iron.

Viva España: Serrano ham gets its unmistakable flavour from air drying for at least twelve months. It is generally quite low in fat; if you want to save even more fat, you can cut off the fat edges.
