With a passion for pork products and rising incomes, the Chinese have entered the market for Iberico hams with gusto.

由于对猪肉类产品的热爱与收入的增加，中国人兴致勃勃地进入了伊比利亚火腿的市场。

The way that pigs from Spain's Iberico breed are fed and raised makes the cured ham a delicacy¹ prized for its unique texture² and taste, which is enhanced by the sweet and nutty flavor of the acorns³ the pigs eat.

西班牙伊比利亚猪的喂养方式使得这种猪肉腌成的火腿拥有独特的口感与味道，又因为这些猪食用的橡果的甜美坚果风味而更上一层楼。

In fact, the Chinese appetite for Spanish pork stretches all the way down its production chain.

事实上，中国人对西班牙猪肉的胃口一路扩大到了生产链的所有环节。

Fresh pork exports to China from Spain - including heads, ears and other parts - rose 35% last year, making it the second-largest market in volume, according to figures from the Spanish Meat Export Office.

西班牙肉类出口办公室的数据显示，去年西班牙向中国出口的新鲜猪肉产品(包括猪头、猪耳朵和猪的其他部位)增长了35%，就出口量而言，中国已成为西班牙猪肉出口的第二大市场。
