Medina del Encinar Shoulder Ham 5-6kg

To slice an Iberian shoulder ham, place it on a ham holder with the hoof facing up if you plan to consume it quickly, or down if consumption will be more prolonged. Use a sharp ham knife and begin making thin, uniform cuts, always parallel to the bone. Remove the rind and excess fat as you progress to ensure the best flavor and texture.

The starting point depends on the consumption time. If you’re going to consume it quickly, start with the maza (thick end), the juiciest and richest part. If consumption will be slower, start with the babilla (thin end), which is more cured and withstands the passage of time better.

The weight of an Iberian shoulder ham typically ranges between 5 and 6 kilograms, like the hams and shoulder hams from the Medina del Encinar line, which offer exceptional quality and certification from Jabugo.
