      And the prices I'm seeing are almost ten times what you should pay. These people obviously don't give a crap. There are only so many years you can cure and age a ham before it goes hard as the outside of a golfball. Three years is what I've heard.

      @@JacobSmith-xs3ir - The no sound and still frame for large parts of the video weren't a server error, I don't think. More likely an editing error that no one there has bothered to correct, or even look at the video. I deduce from that, they don't really care. I saw a banner of products just under the video, with prices ranging all the way up to $1,300+ for one ham. The lowest price was a Smithfield ham, which I know where to get for about $40, but they had it priced at $158.xx. If you want to rely on a shoddy video posting and want to pay $1,300 for a ham, be my guest, I guess.

    I am a chef who have had a restaurant in Spain for some time. A ham like that is very expensive for a spanish worker and everybit of it is used. When you are not really hungry for dinner a few marbled slices, a few slices of cured sheep cheese, a couple of sweet cherry tomatoes, some salty sardines and fresh onions all topped with olives and you have a meal for kings. The more chunky bits you cube and put on toothpicks with cubes of an un-cured cheese like a shish kebab or you cut it into small pieces for omelets. The rest you cut away from the bone as much as possible into small pieces and put that and the bones into a minestrone soupe (in the winter)

    • @kib2675
      @kib2675 Před rokem +1

      @@niamh2739 I keep them for years as whole. I had one for seven years before I started on it and it was great. It is important that they are not lean, but contain fat. The best ones have som fat as marbles in the meat. The lean ones, less than 12 months or they taste chewy like a rope. When you have started to cut, you can put some olive oil where it is opened to protect. If you have room for it in a fridge or a cool place, you can spend a month on cutting it down. If it gets dry, put a wet towel on it and some shrnk wrap on top off that for a couple of days. The white stuff on the surface is salt not fungue. The green stuff is fungue and you cut it away. When you take it out from storage (after maybe several years) brush it all over. Make a mix off water, 1/3 vinegar, 1/5 salt, to clean it with. Then massage olive oil into it, so it looks great..

      Not necessary. Easy to learn. They key is the ham knife you see in the video. My rule of thumb is to keep the slice thin enough that I can see the knife thru the ham slice as I cut it. Takes 5 minutes to learn. Eezy peezy.

      If it's a spanish jamon iberico, they are good for a year or more if stored properly. There is so much salt in these things that if it isn't moldy (not just a little surface mold but really moldy) or exhibiting off smells it's still good to eat.
