Jamon Iberico

lee_44106 · Dec 17, 2009

Just ordered some from latienda.

Is it really gonna be as heavenly as they say?

What's the best way to enjoy? wine/beer recommendations?

I'm thinking some Manchego also?

Some Manchego, some Marcona almonds, and some lightly brined Spanish olives. Simple and incredible.

thanks Kwik.

Is that an Iberrico pig in your avatar?

Nope, it's a super delicious Berkshire.

Entirely cliche. That doesn't make it any less good. There's a reason these things are served together so often, and it's because they're successful.

There's this place in boston that has a lot of nice imported spanish meets and cheeses called Las Ventas. You can get killer sandwiches there too. Seranno ham at about $25 /lb, some iberico ham at about $80 /lb and then this other kind of iberico ham at around $125 /lb. Pretty cool little place.

Love me some manchego too. Manchego el trigal is some good **** you can get in the states readily at most whole foods. A great raw milk manchego. Super tasty

yes, what you posted is delicious, but you can use jamon iberico or jamon serrano like any other ham, and most people do. make a sandwich, put it on a pizza, whatever.

the people in southern spain who eat it most don't treat like it some precious delicacy--no wine/beer recommendations.

thats because they don't pay $125/lb for it.

because it's not worth $125.

I like dry cured ham by itself. No need to add anything else.

There's a difference between price and worth.

Thanks, I had no idea about any of that.

I had Jamon Iberico last time I ate at Eleven Madison Park. They served it as part of an asparagus assortment, really interesting and delicious.
