How to store ham at home

  • Put it on a ham stand, with the hoof pointing up.
  • Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
  • After cutting, cover the surface with its own fat or a clean cotton cloth.
  • Use a long, thin knife and cut thin slices along the grain.

How to serve it

Take the slices out of the cold about 15 to 20 minutes before eating, so the fat warms up and the full aroma comes through.
