How should I store a whole piece at home before I start cutting it?
A whole, uncut ham or shoulder should be removed immediately from its shipping packaging and stored hanging or on its ham holder in a cool, dry, and dark place at a temperature between 15°C and 20°C. It should not be stored inside the cardboard box, in plastic bags, or in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources (ovens, radiators, etc.).
