Production method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sacrifice and butchering consist of recognizing the quality of the meat according to its type before being butchered. Once this step is done, the meat goes through the V-cut or serrano cut before being placed on top of other meat already cut and separated by a thin layer of sea salt. This is the salting process. During this stage, the ham will be preserved for several days, depending on its weight, during which time its color and aroma will develop. After salting, the ham will go through a process of washing and resting. The washing is done with warm water and aims to eliminate excess salt. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resting period lasts an average of 1 to 3 months and is carried out in a low-temperature room with a certain percentage of humidity. The drying of the Iberian ham is done in most cases in cellars or natural drying rooms to remove the humidity naturally. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
