Spain, throughout its history, has been known as the capital of the pig. As far back as the 15th century, the Catholics decided to eat pig with a passion once they booted out the Islamic and Jewish people from the land. Since that time pork products abound here in every conceivable way imaginable. From the famous Iberian ham to the spicy chorizo sausage; Spain’s ownership of the pig has been its trademark in the culinary world.
