Blog navigationThe 5 best accessories to enjoy Iberian ham. What do you need?
Discover the essential accessories for enjoying Iberian ham. Guarantee an incredible tasting experience with the best utensils. Iberian ham is a symbol of Spanish gastronomy, known for its flavor and quality. To ensure each tasting is an incredible experience, it's essential to have the right accessories. Below, we detail everything you shouldn't miss in your Iberian ham tasting arsenal. Read on!
Accessory 1 for enjoying Iberian ham: HAM STAND
The ham stand is the main accessory for properly slicing ham. This stand will allow you to secure the ham and cut it into thin, even slices, preserving its texture and flavor. There are different types of ham stands: wooden, metal, with a rotating base, and so on.
Wooden ham stands
These tend to be more traditional and aesthetically pleasing. They provide great stability and are ideal for use at home. Some models have a classic design that adds a rustic touch to the table.
Metal Ham Holder
They are lighter and often come with adjustment mechanisms that allow the ham to be secured in different positions. Many have rotating bases, making it easier to access all parts of the ham without having to move the holder. This type of ham holder is ideal for those looking for practicality and functionality.
Choose the one that best suits your needs and consider the space you have available. Remember that a good ham holder not only makes slicing easier but also adds an aesthetic touch to your table. At Jamonarium, we have a wide variety of ham holders.
Accessory 2 for enjoying Iberian ham: HAM KNIFE
A good knife is essential for slicing Iberian ham into thin slices. Look for a long, flexible knife, specifically designed for slicing ham. The quality of the knife influences the precision of the cut and, therefore, the tasting experience. A sharp knife will allow you to appreciate the texture and flavor of the ham at its best. It will also allow you to get more out of the ham. Discover all the knives for slicing ham and shoulder on our website.
Ham Knife Length and Flexibility
A knife between 25 and 30 centimeters is ideal. This length allows you to reach different parts of the ham, while flexibility helps follow the grain of fat and meat, crucial for obtaining thin, even slices.
Ham Knife Blade Material
High-quality stainless steel is essential, as it resists corrosion and maintains its edge longer. Some knives are treated to provide an even finer cut, which is ideal for Iberian ham.
Ergonomic Ham Knife Handle
A good grip is essential, especially if you plan to cut multiple slices. Opt for a handle that fits comfortably in your hand, preferably made of non-slip materials for added safety.
Accessory 3 for Enjoying Iberian Ham: Sharpening Steels and Sharpeners
To keep your knife in top condition, it's recommended to have a sharpening steel or sharpener on hand. These tools will help you maintain your knife's sharpness, ensuring perfect cuts every time you prepare a ham tasting. Remember to sharpen your knife regularly so it's always ready to use.
Differences between a sharpening steel and a sharpener
A sharpening steel doesn't actually sharpen, but rather realigns the knife's edge, returning it to its correct position. It's ideal for frequent and quick maintenance before each use. Sharpeners (manual or electric) do remove a small amount of material from the blade to restore its sharpness, so they're used less frequently, but are essential when the knife has significantly lost its cutting ability.
Tips for maintaining the edge
- Use the sharpening steel on a clean, dry knife, using gentle, angled movements.
- Don't wait until the knife is completely dull: regular maintenance prolongs its lifespan.
- Store the knife in a sheath or protective block to prevent it from dulling due to contact.
At Jamonarium, you'll find sharpening steels and strops specially designed for ham knives, ensuring maximum performance with every cut.
Accessory 4 for Enjoying Iberian Ham: Plate
To present Iberian ham attractively, a good tasting plate is essential. Choose ceramic or wooden plates that enhance the beauty of the ham slices. A well-presented plate is not only important for aesthetics but can even influence the perception of flavor.
Recommended Types of Plates for Iberian Ham
- Ceramic plates: They retain temperature well and allow for an elegant and traditional presentation. Some models even come decorated with Iberian motifs that enhance the gourmet character of the ham.
- Slate or wooden plates: Ideal for a rustic and modern presentation. The texture of the background visually contrasts with the slices, making them more appetizing.
- Rotating plates: Very useful for shared tastings or table presentations, as they allow all diners easy access to the ham.
Suggestions for an impeccable presentation
- Arrange the ham slices in a fan or in circles, revealing the shine and grain.
- Avoid piling the slices up: an airy presentation allows them to breathe and better release their aroma.
- Accompany with small details such as artisan bread or breadsticks, without stealing the spotlight from the ham.
At Jamonarium, we also have trays and plates specially designed to enhance your ham tastings, whether at home or at special events.
Accessory 5 for enjoying Iberian ham: WINE OR PAIRING
Although not an accessory in itself, the choice of beverage is crucial for enjoying Iberian ham. A good red wine, such as a Rioja or Ribera del Duero, enhances the flavors of the ham. You can also opt for vermouth or a craft beer.
Red wines to pair with Iberian ham
A Rioja or Ribera del Duero are classic choices, as their tannins and structure complement the richness of the ham.
White or sparkling wines to pair with Iberian ham
Sometimes, a white wine with good acidity or a cava can be refreshing options that balance the fat of the ham. Be sure to serve them chilled.
Glasses and glasses to pair with Iberian ham
The presentation of the drink is also important. Use appropriate glasses that allow you to appreciate the wine's aromas, and consider a cooler to maintain the proper temperature, especially if you choose to serve white or sparkling wine.
Enjoying Iberian ham is an experience that deserves to be fully appreciated, so having the right accessories not only improves the presentation but also enriches the tasting. At Jamonarium, we offer a wide range of hams, shoulders, and other Iberian and gourmet products, as well as all the necessary utensils to make each bite unique. We also offer accessory kits for your ham or shoulder to help you get the most out of it.
