We here at igourmet.com are pleased to introduce the “Gold Standard” of Serrano ham! This whole leg of Serrano ham has been carefully deboned for ease of slicing. The pigs selected are carefully chosen to be of a certain weight and body type to ensure the best distribution of fat throughout the muscle. Pigs with the best of these characteristic are carefully selected for these premium, 20 month dry-cured serrano hams. The legs are then cured along traditional guidelines to maintain this Gold Standard of Serrano excellence.

The initial curing takes place in winter, when the low temperature and low humidity help ensure a long-lasting cure. Rubbed with pure, coarse sea salt, the curation process is carefully monitored in the Extremadura and Castilla-Leon regions of Southwestern Spain. Only after twenty months do these hams reach the proper level of texture, taste, and aroma to be considered Gold Standard Serrano Hams.

Perfect for tapas, your next celebration, or as an impressive gift for a connoisseur of artisan meats. Taste the difference that the additional aging and care instills in these hams!

DISAPPOINTING
By Captain Frank from Amherst, NH 03031 on 8/13/2008
Cons:
Bad Value
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Gold Label Boneless Serrano Ham (Whole Leg):

I am a gourmet chef, retired international airline's pilot and food critic. I speak fairly when I say that I have eaten far better examples of Serrano ham throughout Europe. This product, if representative of this producer
, is too dry, too salty, and lacking flavor. I'm not certain if the salty taste is the result of improper curing or excessive additives of sodium nitrate and sodium nitrate.The Parma hams are superior in overall quality to this ham. (See my review of the Parma ham).
