Serrano hams with Trevélez Protected Geographical Identification are cured in natural drying sheds in Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, for a minimum of 20 months. 100% natural ham, with no additives or preservatives.
You can buy it vacuum-packed, which will make a packed ham weighing between 4 and 6 kilos (depending on the original weight with bone). Boned hams are the same as whole hams, as the ham is dried on the bone and boned only when dry.
