Re:US plans to produce ‘Iberian’ ham in Texas and Georgia by wenc on Saturday August 15, 2020 @11:57AM (#24169785)
Ibérico in this case doesn't refer to the place of origin (Iberia) but the type of pig (Black Iberian).

Non-Ibérico ham is usually called "jamón serrano".

So logically, ham made in Texas from Black Iberian pigs could be called Texan Iberico. But I like the ring of "jamón tejano" -- I would certainly buy that! (Texas has a positive halo effect when it comes to meat products)
