Jamon storage
I purchased a jamon in Ayamonte this week and have brought it back to the UK for my daughter's birthday celebrations at the end of this month. It was wrapped in some grease proof type paper and it's stocking. Should I unwrap it until the 30th or leave it wrapped in a cool place? My friend has the stand and knife so we are ready to go but I don't want to make it too hot and sweaty!! I welcome your expert suggestions .

Re: Jamon storage
Hola
Here in Chiclana, all the ventas have them hanging in the bars - they seem to only sell them at Christmas! But they are covered in a fat which drips into a cup that hangs under them. When they actually cut one the first thing they do is to cut the fat off - the exposed jamon is then covered with a damp cloth
That´s the sum total of my knowledge

Re: Jamon storage
'How to store jamon serano in England' bluebottles will be you worst problem. Food must not be exposed in England. Extra muslin to make sure it has air but no flies. Like the old meat safe. A cabinet with gauze sides. Plenty of air no flies.

Re: Jamon storage
Indeed the internet has all the answers to problems apart from death and taxes.And apparently the death one had almost been cracked.The other one is proving a lot more difficult.

All eaten up now it was delicious with lots of requests to bring more back to the UK. That means I need a bigger golf carry bag!

Re: Jamon storage
You're right Olivian. Bluebottles and fresh air are the bain of the uk. Better wash it down with some gin and hide in a meat safe. However you could leave it in Ayamonte in the open and just enjoy eating the flies.
