This bloke is a proper artiste! For those of you commenting on the price, think of this as the Wagyu or Kobe beef of ham. Allegedly the best of the best. You pay for the pigs "special" diet, the "special" curing process, the high priced advertising, etc etc. I can go down to my local supermarket and buy a leg, cured the same way, for about 40 euros. To my palate it tastes just fine.
Una vez cortado y colocado en el artefacto jamonero, no durará mucho tiempo para que se estropee. No pararás de comerlo hasta su fin. Luego para otras ocasiones puedes pedir por internet. En Europa por Amazon y te lo envían rápidamente.
All these comments, they show the level of culinary culture of some people. They're so used to buying prepackaged crap and deep frying everything to then drown it in sauces, they're unable to appreciate actual flavour. These hams are a work of art, worth $750 a piece. But they will rage because it's "2 pricey 4 muh burgers this glorified bacon." Grow up, people.
Oh please, I've eaten some very expensive meats before. This stuff is nothing more than for show and people who want to feel elitist. A Christmas honey ham you find in most shopping marts taste better. Just because this costs exponentially more doesn't mean it is exponentially tastier. It really isn't.
lol ... 'i have eaten some very expensive meats before... but honey ham taste better than this'.... wtf.... lol .... is $750 overpriced? yes, and no. There is a difference between fine culinary creation and daily nutrition intake...
+Awesome Eats No, because the fat of Joselito ham is perfect for conserving the ham. Since the other part has more fat, it can last for longer time without loosing quality as opposed to the thinner part of the ham.
+Awesome Eats The fat content comments are in relation to the outer layers of fat which protect the meat, which is cut away, and the outer most layers of which may be discarded. One side has more fat, while the other side has less fat. The side with the thinner layer of fat will dry out faster since the meat is closer to the surface.
Juan Miguel Dela Cruz They're cured, meaning the legs are treated with salt and hung up to dry. The salt and air drying removes a lot of the moisture from the meat and changes its texture and flavor. So they are not technically cooked but they are preserved and safe to eat as is.
+TouchyBanana considering I just got some nice Spanish cured ham at fucking wallmart of all places today I don't think that's a fair statement. It also goes well with smoked meat so if you don't try it your missing out.
+TouchyBanana Lol some slices of Iberico ham are on sale for $12 bucks at my city stores, also a sandwich of Iberico ham, Arugula, sliced tomatoes and a toasted baguette bread is the best thing you would ever taste, these hams are good to eat without sauces xD
Are you joking? First of all, I'm sure you cannot afford this ham. Second, if you ever got the chance to try this treasure, do it without sauce. Jamón must be with wine, and bread (this last in some cases)
Who the fuck are you to say if I can or cannot afford jamon? Serrano jamon slices can be bought for £1.50, which converts to 80 American CENTS. A 5.5kg LEG of Serrano can be bought for £14.99, which converts to $18.68 American Dollars - stand and knife included. So fuck you. And if I ever buy any of it, I will eat it however the fuck I please.
Um, you are wrong on many counts. Firstly, GBP is worth more than USD; £1.50 equates to $1.87 at the current exchange rate. Secondly, you have quoted a price here from Iceland, one of the lowest-rent UK supermarkets. Real high quality Serrano is many times more expensive. Thirdly, although it is your prerogative to eat your food as you wish, it would be a great disservice to both the animal and the artisan who prepared it to scoff it down in such an uncaring way, with no thought for real reflection or enjoyment of what you are experiencing. However, I am close to certain that you are an American, and as such like many of your countrymen you are an uncultured pig, not worthy of eating such a delicacy.
The ham I received is quite moist on the exterior, is this a good thing? Should I wipe it down before storing? I thought the exterior would be dry. I'm trying to learn all I can about this new delight, but the video's usually start with the carving. Frustrating. This video offers much more advice but does not answer all of my questions.
Oh man that yello and white fat on the very top he is cutting off looks sooo delicious and juicy. God damn... U could prolly render the fat out of it and cook eggs or pork chops on it maybe even a nice steak, gotta try it out:
give me ANY farm raised smoked ham in America over this hyped B.S. two 2x4's and a nail to hold it down, and ONE sharp ass knife. darlin' bring the plates.....
Jamon Joselito that’s his opinion. I’m not saying your ham isn’t amazing , but there are literally HUNDREDS if not thousands of producers of PATA NEGRA in Spain and “the world’s best chef” hasn’t tried all of them. I’m a professional Ham carver myself with over 10 years experience and I’ve had the pleasure of tasting MANY hams from the FOUR acorn fed 100% ibérico regions. Every one of those regions claims they make the best pata negra. Martin berasategui, endorses ALJOMAR, he is also a world renowned chef. The best ham in the world is the one the customer likes the most. But if you work for joselito or endorse they’re product, you will have to say it’s the best. Dehesa Maladua in Huelva and Jamones Lazo produce El manchado de jabugo, the most expensive ham in the world , with the longest production process on the peninsula. Dehesa de los monteros give their pigs a premontanera de castañas. From La Sierra de Ronda. Do you see ? Joselito IS an amazing ham but not the best in the world
Ham snobbery, what the hell. This stuff was made for centuries by peasant farmers and now the snotty "chic" arseholes have made it into some kind of earthly ambrosia because they have made it ridiculously expensive. Bless their socks.
Extremely expensive. According to their site, one of these costs $687. I can use these money to buy a full range of groceries for many days and feed a family much more effective.
Korakaris you dumb Americana, thi hham leg, can feed up to 50 people. or 200 if you well only give 2 slices to costumee. thi hham is to restruantre usage.
Bollocks. You wouldn´t get this particular ham in a restaurant, not unless it´s the Spanish equivalent to Gordon Ramsay. Many, MANY, Spanish homes have a leg of cured ham in the kitchen. They cost about 40 euros at the supermarket. I buy one about twice a year and it lasts me mebbe 2 weeks.
god, what pretentious bullshit. a hamstand is needed? really? and trying so hard to differentiate between parts of the meat... jesus christ. look, i'm sure this ham is delicious and has more subtle flavors than other kinds of ham, but the frilly pretentious bs details throw me off.
It should be very sad living in a country without a rich gastronomic culture as in Spain. That's one of the most exclusive, expensive and tastiest products of that country. I really encourage you to taste it, at least for once.
