Abstract
Two panels of assessors from France and Spain assessed 41 dry-cured hams from diverse geographical origins, pig breedings and feedings. Univariate (Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and t-test) and multivariate (canonical correlation and principal component analysis) statistical procedures have been used to explain the agreement and disagreement between panels evaluating similar and dissimilar sensory attributes quantified with a 9-points structure scale. The results pointed out that there were basic agreements between panels, although some disagreements were detected in mould, acorn and crust attributes. The classification of Iberian and white dry-cured hams and the sensory attributes that characterise them are also displayed.
