did a little research... you can't even import the whole hams with hoof into the US. FDA doesn't like that. and only VERY recently did they even allow the iberico ham into the US in any shape or form.

i was chatting with a friend from Seville and he said that in his home they always had one of these sitting on the cunter in the kitchen:


when you want a slice, you whip out a knife and slice it off.

that's how i want to live.

yeah, that's heaven.

i have seen that exact setup in a window of a place in Santa Monica. Guessing it might be cured locally if you can't import?

i didn't do extensive research, so maybe it's changed, but what i got out of it was that the hoof was the issue.....so maybe it's de-hoofed.

or cured locally, or maybe just imported from somewhere else.

the iberico belotta is something else, though-- at room temperature it glistens because the fat is becoming liquid. apparently due to their diet and factors that occur through the curing process much of the fat in the final product is majority oleic acid--which is the ajority fat in olive oil.
