How to Store, Serve and Enjoy Jamón Ibérico for the Best Tasting Experience

 

Introduction

Jamón Ibérico is a living product, shaped by time and environment.
Proper storage and serving are essential to preserve its texture, aroma and flavour.


How to Store a Whole Jamón

A whole piece should be stored:

  • in a cool, dry place

  • between 15°C and 20°C

  • away from light and heat

Once opened, it should be consumed within a reasonable period for optimal quality.


Storage for Sliced Jamón

Machine-sliced or hand-carved vacuum-sealed portions must be:

  • refrigerated between 4°C and 10°C

Before serving, allow slices to rest at room temperature.


Serving Temperature Matters

Jamón Ibérico should always be enjoyed at room temperature.
This allows the natural fats to soften and aromas to fully express themselves.


How to Taste Jamón Ibérico

Take your time.
Allow each slice to melt gently on the palate, appreciating texture before flavour.

Less is more — simplicity enhances the experience.


Completing the Experience

In the near future, CASA MANGURRINO will introduce complementary products designed to elevate and accompany this refined tasting ritual.


Conclusion

Respecting storage and serving principles ensures that Jamón Ibérico delivers its full potential — just as intended by tradition.
