GOOD REVIEWS

“It’s definitely a grazing item. Think charcuterie.”

” It’s cured. Slice very thin. Super tasty, good for a big crowd. Comes with stand and knife.”

“You need to cut it really finely thin to enjoy it. The knife that comes with it was subpar. It was ok for me, I’ve had better.”

“it is best at 70° but can keep at any temperature. I leave it on my counter till we eat it all. It took us 3 months or more”

“Oh it’s worth every penny. The problem is they sell out as fast as they get them in.”

“Put some olive oil and balsamic vinegar mix on a plate, dip bread on it, top it with manchego cheese and the ham.”

“it can sit at room temperature for several weeks.”

“There are instructions to coat the exposed areas with olive oil after slicing to keep it from drying out, but that’s it!”

“Bought this for inlaws last year as a xmas gift. They loved it and finally polished it off over the summer. I also learned (after the fact) that its half price the day after xmas”

” I love it with brie on a baguette with fig preserves. I also use it in arugula salads with lemon balsamic and shaved parmesan.”

“The ham is very delicious”

“its very tender, not super salty. Spain is #1 in the world for prosciutto hams”

“got one for 49.97 this morning. Comes with stand, knife and QR code to YouTube link on box.”

“We had one of these last year. A lot of times they are used for a party. Everyone slices ham for themselves. It is from Spain. It cost about 100.00. After Christmas the price is about half of that.”

“Be sure to watch the how to video. Slice it real thin. We had this for a party and found it better for one person to do all the slicing because we had people just cutting chucks off it.”

“My husband and daughter finished it in one month”

“I was just so tempted. Anyways, if you are as curious as me about what this tastes like, it is very much the same as buying the packaged slices, but of course, the more you eat it, the bigger the addiction you develop to it.

And it seems you have to be a professional to cut the thin sliver slices with the knife if came with.

Fortunately I had this awesome knife I got at an Asian store that did the trick wonderfully.”

“Slice it paper thin! Garlic shrimp, dry Manchego cheese also sliced paper thin, marinated Spanish olives! Enjoy! “

“We got one last Christmas and it was a big hit at our holiday gatherings. I froze the end bits and added them to soups. Delicious and so worth it. I love that it comes with the stand and knife as well. All for $99”

“This is for an appetizer..not a main dish ham! Get a turkey, or other ham, pork chops, chicken.”

“It’s more like prosciutto than a holiday ham. It’s definitely not a main course meat”

“It has to be cut super super thin! Enjoy this delicacy  oh and btw, buy some really good Italian cheeses and bread with this!”

“We bought one in March for $49.97, and have been working on it during the entire pandemic while we are all at home. It’s been very good and we’ve sliced some off to give to friends during these months. Not terribly much left now. If we see it around Christmas we would do it again.”

“the package gives you directions for storing it after opening. Basically you slice a section to save to place back on it, apply some olive oil and wrap it back up in plastic wrap”

“When you first cut it, you take off layers of fat from the top and partially down the sides. They suggest placing that back on for storage. We do that and cover loosely with a food grade bag and refrigerate, stand and all. They say you don’t even need to refrigerate if your space is less than 70 degrees. They have a great instructional video on YouTube.”

“I sliced ours very thin and then used food saver to vacuum seal. I layered parchment to prevent them from sticking. You can keep it covered with a towel until you finish it, I just felt like I needed to slice and store for later. I also gave some of the sealed packages to my son.”

“A leg of jamon can last a long time. I like it with a tomato sauce on toast, on sandwiches and in coquettes.”

“We like the taste and texture better than prosciutto. Fairly easy to cut thin with a little practice. Their knife is not bad, but my Cutco carving knife makes it somewhat easier. I have fun with it.”

“I love this Serrano ham at Costco. It’s both entertaining to cut and tastes great. It comes with a stand and knife. Also available online.”

“This thing is delicious. I like having red wine with it”

“We got it every year! Loved it!”

“Ours was Great thin slice and vacuum seal for freezer we have enjoyed it all year. Love wrapping asparagus spears in it and grilling. Also great for charcuterie board”

“you just lay a tea towel or cheese cloth over the cut bit. It is fully cured. We have had it in Spain.”

“It was a big hit last year “

“We bought one last year. Everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend.”

“I’m on my 3rd one. I bought 3 last sept and this one is by far the best flavored. You can keep in storage for a long time. Always thinly sliced. It co es with the knife (nicely sharp) and stand”

“Only advised if you are having a GIANT party for ham-lovers who will eat it all in one go. It’s a lot of work and delicious but not for the faint of heart.”

“The best $100.00 you’ll ever spend.”

“My daughter and son-in-law got one last year. It was amazing”

“It’s that time of the year. Whole Serrano Ham leg with stand and knife. We have been buying this the last couple of year and it’s wornderful. Only $99.99”

“Love it better than prosciutto… more refined, less salty.”

“We’ve bought one every year for the past couple of years! It’s delicious and before the pandemic we used to pack it up and bring it to parties.  The only tough part is you have to be mindful of how you store it to minimize drying and mold.”

“Bought one two years ago and it was fine (my parents were born in Spain and both my grandmother and mother cured their own jamones, so l grew up with them too). Great that it comes with the holder and knife too! One word of warning, it comes vacuum sealed. Make sure you remove the plastic and keep the open part covered with the skin you remove, and a kitchen towel. I initially left it in the plastic, then noticed it started getting moldy. I cut it off and it was fine. Just annoyed l hadn’t thought logically about it.”

“Took one to a party late last year. Everyone loved it but it’s so rich that only about 1/2 of it was eaten.”

“If your interior temp gets too warm, the fat will melt and get all over you counter. You could slice it all at once and refrigerate or freeze.”

“I like it. I cut out the skin and fat part and only eat the meat. Very good on baguette for breakfast with eggs”

“Loving mine! I wrap the exposed meat with the rind and fat I’ve trimmed off and it sits under a towel on my counter. It’s been there over a week and still great!”

“We got it last year for Covid Thanksgiving instead of a turkey and it lasted two months on the counter with a cloth over it. (We didn’t finish it but couldn’t eat anymore of it). The knife is sharp too so be careful.”

BAD REVIEWS

“I found it so difficult to slice thinly especially with the knife that came with it. I would not get it again but my son wants another one for Christmas”

“I was very disappointed. I thought it would be like prosciutto but definitely wasn’t. Too chewy and the flavor wasn’t good. Lesson learned”

“Salty”

“Got one too.. agreed… won’t do it again. It’s tough.”

“I took it to a family get together. Thought it would be similar to prosciutto. It wasn’t. Very tough to chew even when sliced paper thin and I thought the taste was a little”off”. Slicing/serving was a chore! Waste of $100 in my opinion.”

“not impressed.”

“Our family wasn’t impressed either.”

“We won’t buy it again. But in all fairness we knew that when we bought it. We did it once just to do it.

It’s a pain to cut. But it does taste good. This thing is going to last forever.”

” didn’t love it but for the price, it was okay. My biggest complaint is the knife it came with. It was practically useless. It also doesn’t taste as flavorful to me as the other Spanish hams I had before. Frying them made it better.”

“we got one last year (we lived in Spain for a year so we were very excited to receive one). DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. It might be a great gift, but it is not very useful for the few occasions you would slice it.”

“It was neat and made for a great centerpiece of our charcuterie table for Christmas but in all honesty it wasn’t that tasty it was alright”

“They get hairy if not consumed quickly. Would not buy again”

“Low quality serrano ham ,i get one last year was gross”

“We bought one when they were marked down last year. We didn’t care for it.”

“The knife included is terrible”

“Last year, I actually returned mine. Never again.”

“This is not good at all. Quality is inferior. Taste and smell are off. Not like the ham in spain at all”

“Had it at a friends house didn’t see what all the fuss was about barely had any flavor.”

“It made my husband and I incredibly sick. We  for days and my husband started having stomach problems before we even left my in-laws house after eating it 

We also eat cured meat on the reg so I’m kind of shocked this messed us up so bad.”

“Not a fan. We always get tired of its meh taste and try to pawn it out to friends. They don’t budge either.”

“Son in law got it one year snd didn’t taste like the ones from Spain. Also meat was tough and chewy”

“I’d heard so many positives about the $99 Serrano ham so I convinced my wife to buy one. Unpacked, waited six hours and cut the fat covering off the top and side few inches. I cut it as thin as I could -with some practice- but as someone posted on Amazon- it tasted like tough shoe leather. I’m going to keep cutting to see if I can work through it but even at $99, I don’t know if I have the nerve to return the thing. Hopefully everyone else’s turns out better than mine.”

“I love premium meats but this was disgusting! Would not recommend. I still gag every time I walk past it in the warehouse. We tossed it! “

“I tried it and was not a fan of the flavor, I couldn’t stomach it but I get how people will absolutely love it”
