Recently, businessman Pham Thanh Hung, also known as Shark Hung, introduced the limited edition Espana salted pork leg product, with only 499 pieces in the world, each individually numbered and with a certificate. receive included.

Shark Hung added that there are currently about 10 pork thighs of this version in Vietnam. Not only that, when it opened for sale on livestream, all 5 units were sold.

Besides, the thigh that Shark Hung peeled off to entertain his friends has the serial number 248/499.

A few days before Shark Hung, designer Thai Cong also stunned people when he brought to livestream this limited edition Spanish salted pork leg.

"Only 499 thighs are produced each year, in Vietnam there are currently only 10. Anyone who wants to eat them must buy the whole thigh and not sell it individually," Thai Cong said.

In addition, he also said that normally people only hang it for 24 to 30 months, but this pig has been salted for up to 60 months. Not to mention, this type only takes the front thigh of the pig. If you look at the certificate, Thai Cong's serial number is 199/449.

The similarity is that both Shark Hung and Thai Cong confirmed that there are only 499 in the world, but in just one week, both of them bought it.

Shark Hung personally confirmed that he could buy 10 to take home. At the same time, Thai Cong's serial number is 199/499, Shark Hung's is 248/499, dozens of numbers apart.

Some theories have been put forward that Shark Hung is the one "competing with rich people" to bring distribution, while Thai Cong is just the one offering the product to a selling unit.

And despite such an introduction, there is still too little information about the origin and import of goods... and just looking at the introduction clips is too difficult to verify.

Not only that, before the limited edition introduced as a limited edition for the new year 2024 caused a stir online, the audience also witnessed many times the pork leg eating performances of Phuong Oanh, Dam Vinh Hung, Vu Ha...

Even if you surf on e-commerce platforms or "online markets", it is not difficult to see posts selling Spanish salted pork thighs for prices ranging from a few hundred to several million dong.

So is this item really rare and limited in Vietnam or are celebrities just trying to promote it to sell?

Although the story of how many limited editions of salted pork thighs there are in Vietnam is still a big question mark, it is an opportunity for us to learn more about a specialty of world cuisine.

And there is also an option for this Tet holiday dish if anyone needs it.

According to research, salted pork is a dish that is praised as the quintessence and representative of Spanish cuisine. In most restaurant appetizers, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, thin plum-colored slices of salted pork appear.

However, only on important occasions such as Christmas, holidays, and New Year do Spaniards buy whole hams of salted pork.

Because on those occasions, families and groups of friends gather in large numbers, and a thigh usually weighs 5 - 10kg. If there are few people, it takes several months to eat it all.

And in reality, not every salted pork leg costs 112 million as Shark Hung and Thai Cong introduced. There are still smaller or sliced versions, from a few ounces to a few kilograms.

It is known that when each pork leg is salted, it will be classified, selected for breed as well as have different salting methods and different names.

Regarding salting time, to reach the peak flavor it will take at least 2 years, higher quality types like 5J Cinco Jotas is 3 years, a type called Redondo Iglesias is 4 years, Espana mentioned above takes 5 years. year (60 months).

However, compared to Vietnamese people's taste, when eating salted pork, it will almost taste saltier. Because the meat is salted for years, the salt has seeped into every fiber of the meat. However, it would be better if eaten with bread or salad.
