After many requests for sliced Jamon Serrano (meaning Mountain Ham), we have finally found it! Pre-packed and pre-sliced, this ham has never been easier to include in your favorite Spanish recipes and snacks. Serrano is a cured Spanish ham from the famed white pig, found only in Spain's mountainous regions. It is salted, hung in cool conditions, then cured for fifteen months, giving it a superior and complex taste. It is an essential ingredient for any tapas. Serrano is especially delightful when served with Manchego cheese and olives.

I have missed my serrano. Pls bring this product in bigger pieces, not only sliced. It is the best food with a really good wine and a lot of friends around.

I love Serrano ham on bread rubbed with tomato and a little olive oil. Also on salads; with cheese; wrapped on chestnuts or figs; again, the possibilities are endless.

Spanish delight

By Jose Jamon from Windy City on 8/16/2007

Pros:

Flavorful, High Quality

Best Uses:

Entertaining, Hors d'oeuvre

Describe Yourself:

Foodie, Spanish Food Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Short of slicing your own from a whole leg (not an option for most of us!) this is as good as it gets for Serrano lovers here in the US. Has that melt-in-the-mouth quality despite its age, and is also great in spanish omelettes, wrapped around asparagus etc

Great authentic flavor

By R. V. Joplin

Pros:

All Natural, Flavorful, Tender

Best Uses:

Hors d'oeuvre, Ingredient

Describe Yourself:

Frequent Diner

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This serrano was tender and flavorful when I received it. Sometimes I find store-bought prosciutto to be too salty and have a "jerky"-like texture, but this was just the opposite. The meat was paper thin and wrapped easily around cantaloup. It was deliciously porky!

Not so good

By Senora Spain

from Los Angeles on 7/22/2007

Cons:

Bad Texture, Bland, Glassy, Rubbery Texture

Describe Yourself:

Foodie, Frequent Diner, Just Back from Spain

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I returned from Spain recently (July '07) looking for the kind of fresh-off-the-leg Iberico and Serrano Jamon I'd eaten every day for the last two weeks. Hoping this was it, I ordered three packs. I used the word "glassy" to describe this ham -- it's so vaccuum packed and has been for so long, that the sides of the outer pieces are actually smooth and *reflective!* You're only supposed to be able to see yourself in your stainless steel pans, right? This Jamon was also leathery, which can sometimes be nice in small doses, but this was tough -- too hard for sandwiches and not nearly high-quality enough to serve plain on a plate with cheese.

Spend your money on authentic slices if you can find a Spanish (not Mexican!) meat store near you (or fall back on the best Prosciutto you can find).
