FAQDoes the pata negra ham exist?

What is the difference between good and bad cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat we need for our bodies to function correctly. However, an excess of cholesterol in the blood can cause problems if it accumulated on the walls of our arteries.

Most cholesterol in our bodies is produced by the liver and some further amounts come from our diet.

Cholesterol in the blood is in two forms:
- LDL Cholesterol (the bad type): an excess of LDL blocks the arteries by   adhering to the walls.
- HDL Cholesterol (the good type): takes the excess of cholesterol to the liver   to eliminate it.

What means “tapas”?
Tapas originated in Andalucia, a Southern province of Spain. The word "tapa" translates as "cover". Tapas traditionally may have been a complementary piece of sliced ham served on top of a glass of wine, but we know them today as small portions of food commonly served as a snack before lunch or dinner. Tapas can be as simple as a bowl of olives or more hearty, such as slices of Ibérico ham. The tapa was born when, due to an illness, the Spanish king Alfonso the 10th, the Wise, had to take small bites of food with some wine between meals. Once recovered from the disease, the wise king decreed that no wine was to be served in any of the inns in the land of Castile, unless accompanied by something to eat. This was a wise precaution to counteract the adverse effects of alcohol on those people who, through lack of money to buy a nourishing meal drank alcohol on an empty stomach.
