Ham and shoulder ham tasting require an exquisite presentation and must be well carved and served. You can start practicing by following our tutorial. Is this the only way? As you can see on another of our pages, our products are also available already sliced or hand carved. But be careful! They also require a part of the ritual to be followed.       <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of ham and shoulder ham, you are about to consume a product that has involved 5 to 8 years of immense effort from the rearing of the pig until it reaches your palate, all for your full enjoyment and a delightful tasting experience. In the case of cured meats, between 3 and 4 years are required. Therefore, there are certain basic recommendations: wait until it reaches a temperature of 20-22 degrees, use a knife to carve it, and serve it arranged from the outside on a round plate, or, easier, in symmetrical and meticulously ordered rows. If you have acquired an already sliced product, wait until it has reached room temperature and, when its fat starts to melt, separate the slices and arrange them on a plate following the aforementioned ritual. It will delight the senses and the palate and will never fail you in important events or for unexpected last-minute occasions.    <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br
