When a whole ham is too much, and a package of slices is not versatile enough for your needs, this center cut piece of cured Jamón Serrano is just what you need.

The best way to enjoy fresh, flavorful slices of jamón is by cutting from the whole ham right before serving. But unless you are throwing a party, a whole Serrano ham may be too large. This center cut jamón can be unwrapped and sliced thinly, either by hand or in a mechanical slicer. Between uses wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.

You can use any extra trimmings as seasoning for paella and a variety of dishes, or as a flavorful seasoning for traditional cocidos and stews.
