Always check the labelling of our products for guidance. To preserve the ham once you’ve started carving it, cover the cut surface with a slice of white fat from the ham followed by a cotton cloth. Ideally, slice the ham daily to keep the cut fresh. To ensure maximum quality, we recommend consuming a Cinco Jotas ham within 2 months and storing in a cool, dry place.
