Serrano Whole Ham Reserva by Campofrio (Gift Pack)

The Reserva serrano ham by Campofrio is cured for 12 to 14 months.

A bone-in shoulder ham (paleta) will last approximately 8 to 10 weeks. Store in the refrigerator in the plastic wrapper for 2 to 3 months or remove from the plastic and store in a cool dry place on a ham holder or hanging by the rope provided.

Once you cut into it, cover the cut surface with fat from the paleta and a light breathable cloth. The cut surface may dry out a bit; simply cut off the dry portion and continue slicing. Do not remove the fat and skin from areas you are not actively slicing, as they protect the ham from drying out.

A thin layer of mold may appear on whole hams and paletas; this is completely harmless. It can be removed with a clean, damp cloth or with a cloth and olive oil. Small white spots are amino acids found in aged meat and cheese products and are perfectly safe to eat.

Serve the slices at room temperature.
