4,5-5 Kg Spanish Serrano Ham Leg Shoulder Reserva 100% Natural - A truly Spanish Gourmet experience to share with your loved ones - Jamon Serrano Reserva - Paleta Serrana Curada Reserva

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

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. :(

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.

Vey disappointed with that ham, I thought it was bergan but once I opened I started to eat it it was full of fat and mold , in fact was more fat than meat, the taste looks wired, very strong and the meat was Very hard to eat, I felt like eating chewing gum, I'm having food poisoning,I'm 100% sure it's the ham's fault because APART from the white rice I haven't eaten anything else these days, there is also a big bone in the middle of the ham so that makes very difficult to cut it off,very dissatisfied

As a Spaniard living in the UK for the last 15 years, buying ibérico products around here has always been a hassle. I've often paid outrageous prices (up to £200/kg of pata negra ham at some shop in central London) and the quality of the meat wasn't always up to par.As a consequence, suffering of severe ibérico withdrawal symptoms, I've used every holiday in Spain as an excuse to come back loaded with chorizos, lomos and as many little packages of vacuum-packed ibérico ham as I could fit in my suitcase. That's a hassle of a different kind because I like traveling light.Buying my ibérico products online feels like an obvious choice for me and I have to say this ham from The Black Hoof has been a revelation: fast delivery, great price, the right amount of fat and most importantly, the nutty flavour and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of a good ibérico ham.

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.

Arrived with the skin and fat removed unlike the ones we bought in Sapin. We brushed it with olive oil regularly but it remained dry and lacked taste. We wouldn't buy it again sadly.

I quite like the taste of the product is having the fat is supposed to have to bring the nicest flavour and texture. I saw on other comments how people is complaining about it but I don’t think they understand the product (as a Spanish I do) my only disappointment with it is the fact that it says on the description is free range pigs eating freely on the land but is not a mention or information on the product marking this fact that for me is one of the most important things when I choose jamón o paleta. So it makes me hesitate about it this info is true or not. Apart from that the taste is very good
