WHY SHOULD IBERICO HAM BE CUT WITH A HAM KNIFE?

 

When you hand-slice Ham with a ham knife you can appreciate the true sensations of Ibérico bellota Ham.

There are many advantages when slicing ham with a knife. This technique allows to preserve its qualities longer, Ibérico bellota Ham just sliced melts in your mouth and your taste buds will appreciate better all the original flavour of the Ibérico Ham.

 

When slicing ham with a knife, you will preserve the oily layer that protects ham and this way it will not lose its  flavour or aroma.

 

According to experts, machine-slicing distorts flavour and makes aroma partially disappear basically because the strength and the frequence of the mechanic blades transfer metal molecules to the ham and change its flavour.

According to others, the speed of the mechanic blade ‘burns’ the Ibérico Ham slice.

 

When hand-slicing Ibérico Ham you can appreciate 4 flavours: maza or tapa (very marbled), contra or babilla (drier), jarrete (slightly sweet) and culata (the lower part, saltier). If the person who slices the Ibérico Ham is a good professional, you may have at least two flavours in a pack. 

In our packs, we guarantee at least two different flavours.

 

For all these reasons, an Ibérico Ham of this quality should only be hand-sliced in order to appreciate all its flavour.
