This very special and tasty Serrano ham is achieved with an excellent raw material, large hams with external fat, a little Mediterranean salt and a slow curing process in the fresh air of the high mountains of Spain where the cool, dry air produces a superb traditional cure. The cured serrano ham is a product made from the best pieces of pork that have been selected to produce a 100% natural product after the salting and curing process, thus achieving the best aroma and flavor. It has a characteristic color that changes from pink to purply red in the lean part in addition to the shiny appearance of the fat. It also has a delicate yet salty flavor and a pleasant, characteristic aroma. Should be stored away from sunlight. Whole, bone-in, skin on and hoof removed according to US Law. USDA approved. Cardboard box for safe transit. Expiration date is 12 months from the date of manufacture. If the vacuum-seal is slightly loose, this product is perfectly fit for consumption if within it’s expiration date. If you find mold on your ham, please beware that MOLD is completely normal. Mold in no way affects the quality of the meat, instead it is actually indicative of adequate maturation and curing. Mold grows on the hams during their long curing and drying process and has a biochemical effect on their proteins and fats, which is crucial in the final characteristics and good quality of the product. This process is natural and occurs similarly to mold that grows on fine cheeses.
