Spanish Serrano Ham Shoulder Gran Reserva by The Black Hoof

A Good buy 🍖 the Mrs is enjoying it. Meat is tasty and succulent. Not too much fat to get through before you get to the good stuff. Will be buying again probably this time next year 👍🏻 🎅🏻. I would say the quality of this meat is of premium standard. Price was very reasonable, looking at the other options for sale. Texture of the meat melted in the mouth.

Disappointed with the quality and textureThe ham arrived today, but unfortunately it does not look or feel as I expected from a traditional Spanish Serrano ham cured for over 12 months.The meat is unusually soft and moist and comes apart very easily when cut. Even the skin feels very soft, almost as if it has been boiled, rather than having the firm texture I would expect from a properly cured ham.Although the smell and taste seem fine, the overall texture has left me concerned about the curing process and whether the product matches the description provided.I purchased this expecting an authentic, traditionally air-cured Spanish ham, but I am disappointed with what I received. I would appreciate an explanation from the seller and an appropriate resolution.

Very good for the price, I was very pleasantly surprised with this ham. It is the second one I have bought off Amazon (the first one from this brand) and this one was £20 cheaper and so much better. It’s mild but very tasty.I feel like I have to address the fat issue, because some reviews have almost put me off buying it:Pigs have fat and that is what makes them delicious. I find it really funny when I see pictures of absolute carnages claiming the ham was a waste, when you have to be very careful and remove the fat one later at a time.I am not a professional but I have seen my share of hams and this must be the tenth I’ve bought, and it’s easy to waste a lot of product if you don’t know what you’re doing. I would recommend getting three knives, and spending some time watching a video tutorial before wasting half of a perfectly good ham.

Fattier than expected but that’s reflected in the price. Tasty.

I love the jamon and this is the 5th time when I buy the same one but this time the jamon is not dry enough as the previous ones..

Big fan of serrano, parma, iberico, prosciutto. Get a leg every xmas. This year left it a bit late so ordered via these guys. Looked amazing - packaged superbly, lovely black cloth, gold netting. Was so looking forward to getting tucked in. When I could contain my excitement no more I started trying to cut into it. Used the sharpest knives I had and could barely make any impact. Considere the chain saw at one point. Eventually got to what I suppose could be described as meat - though was so much fat was debateable. Kept telling myself I would get to the good bit soon. Tried both sides. One slightly better than the other - but really, honestly, both really poor. Havent had any soft meat yet. Gave up and went and bought another one elsewhere which was superb in comparison. Honestly really disappointed - thought the other reviews were perhaps being harsh - but seems they are correct. :(

It is the first time I buy a whole ham like this. It is quite impressive and a great party piece. A friend made a support for it, so I could cut it easily. I was however surprised by the huge quantity of fat. If you take off the fat and the bone, you are not left with a large amount of meat. It tasted ok; rather addictive I must admit . Once you've started to cut, you should not wait too many days to eat it all as it does not contain preservatives (thank God!). I think that 10 days is the max - at least for this oneI will buy one again, - maybe from another producer to compare.

Quite a decent ham. Tasty, slightly salty but good value for money.

Buonissimo!

Bon rapport qualité prix. Livraison en avance.Je recommande ce produit.

Ya he comprado dos y han salido muy buenas. Hay gente que no le gusta el tocinito blanco del jamón y protestan, eso es porque no entienden ni tienen conocimiento del sabor del buen jamón. Un jamón sin grasa es como una rosa sin espinas. Estas paletas me recuerdan el sabor antiguo de cuando se hacía matanza en mi casa. Tiene una curación perfecta de la serranía de Córdoba. LA RECOMIENDO.

Excellent
