Is there tattoo in spain
I’ve eaten a lot of jamón in Spain, but I’ve never actually bought a whole one. Why? They’re expensive. It’s complicated (do you go jamón Serrano, jamón ibérico, jamón ibérico de bellota?). Plus you have to know how to care for it. And you have to be able to get through it within about a month. That’s a lot of pressure.
But finally, this Christmas, when my family was coming to visit from New Zealand, Yoly and I decided to take the plunge and buy an entire ham. And this is our story.
Hmm. That sounds really expensive. I just bought a 5-year one in Lanjaron for 80€. Outstanding.
We went to the fantastic Madrid ham shop, Mercado Jamón Ibérico, where the owner Luismi gave us three different grades to taste (with cava!) to help us make our decision. Once we chose the ham, he opened it for us using various knives and gave us tips on how to care for it and also gave me a crash course in carving it.
Then we took it home… the pressure! We stored it in the kitchen, but decided to leave a window open to keep the temperature cool.
I can understand their happiness, it's really delicious!!!
A few tips that we learned:
1. The front leg - a paletilla - is a great cost-effective way to get a jamón. They’re cheaper because they contain less meat. But that also means that if there are only a few of you, you have a decent chance of getting through it before it dries out.
Overated ham looks nice but its git nothing on thick cut free range wikture cured ham
2. If possible, buy it from a where they will open it for you so you can get it home and simply start eating.
3. As you work your way through it, cover the exposed meat with slices of fat from the ham. This keeps the meat moist.
You’re awesome James, but I completely disagree on one point. Business class is vastly superior to economy and worth 10 times more. Once you fly business, you can’t ever go back and I don’t think you need to be a millionaire to fly it in most instances.
4. If you can’t get through the whole ham and you’re worried it’s going to dry out, simply take it back to where you bought it and ask them to cut it into slices and vacuum seal the slices. Then you can keep them in the fridge for a few months. Just remember that when you go to eat them, you need to leave them out to bring them up to room temperature for eating.

@paranoidfrandroidViví muchos años en Badajoz ❤️ vi lo que comían los cerdo y como vivían en las dehesas, ese jamón es magnífico!!!
@doloresperez2139El
@doloresperez2139How long does it keep for?
@evenaicantfigurethisoutwhy were the prices so sus like €420. then €690 XD
@Spectrix0Bought a small version from lidles in scotland. I couldnt pas it without slicing a piece to eat...every time😅..love it
@davidtaylor-hg2bzOh my gosh. Awesome video. That ham looks soooo Yummy.
@AngiesPantry58It must have tasted great but I feel like you have been cheated a little. While indeed the main sticker said Jamon Iberico, the white label clearly indicated paleta, which I believe you have been sold at the end. This could also be reflected in the price as a regular Jamon Iberico 75 % raza Iberica from Juan Manuel which costs between 450 to 500 EUR for a 8-8,5 kg jamon. Hence the price of 280 EUR was probably favorable due the choice of paleta. Anyhow, the Juan Manuel bodega has extremely delicious pieces, I am nevertheless drooling in jealousy! :)
@JacckeyyКлассное видео ребят удачи 👍
@bread_men5918I got my first jamon scar today. At least stitches were not needed.
@mikekombHello James & Yoly, So does the Ham have to stay on the counter top, or can you leave it in the Fridge ? If left in the fridge, how long do you think it would last ?
@bradleyeis7319Huelva, Teruel and Extremadura are good places to purchase good ham at budget prices. Menos intermedios precios más ajustados
@TheGaztelaHay muy buenos jamones,pero el mejor es el de Jabugo Huelva
@iberoinvicto7792Guys! You make my mouth melt when I see this 🎥
I got to carve 2 paletillas sent from 🇪🇸 to the 🇬🇧 before Brexit
I did enjoyed them both thoroughly & I intend to order another 1 soon
The carving itself is a ritual
Don't forget to cut up the bones once the piece is finish to enjoy a beautiful ham stock to go with practically everything
Best wishes from 🇬🇧👍
How much did your ham cost?
@dmac7406When she received the firts cut, she sounded like her mouth was watery,,,saludos
@jairoramirez3745I never new ham can be so much...
@MrBrownnn696So, uh, just noticing there's not a ring on Yoly's finger and James was making comparisons to buying a $30K Euro engagement ring. That's going to be a might big mountain to climb before your special day! :)
@jasonparrish8670Las paletillas pesan menos, llevan mucha grasa y poco magro, por eso y por otros motivos son más baratos, pero están deliciosas... Un saludo!
@arturoestevan1593I am just gonna leave and go to another video before I leave a mean comment for these two loosers making a big deal out of a prosciutto ham..........oh, upssss
@dacca007Love your work
@jackmeoff4344I love it! Like bringing a baby home from the hospital!😜😜😜
@rosacortes5074“Deciding which one to buy is a pretty stressful decision...” Dear oh dear !
@calluketraquair9013Lo unico malo del jamón es que se acaba
@KenNakajima07I'm watching from manhattan...great video I love ham...ashe🗽😇🙏
@jokermorales3533Great video. Thanks for the info. Tengo una pregunta. How would I ask for "some slices of ham" in a shop like the one you are in? Let's say I wanted to buy slices like the ones you are sampling in the amount of 300 grams. Google Translate says "slices of ham" is "lonchas de jamón" but I haven't come across that word before and I wasn't sure if it was the right one to use.
@kkayakerbaby haram...
@boboyboy7899I’ve looked everywhere this Christmas for a Jambon and no where has them in in the U.K? I don’t even care if it’s a genuine Spanish Jamb-on, just a cheaper one would do, but you just can’t find them anywhere ?!?
@matty6848I like it 👍
