Method
Preparation
Slice the Jamon
Using a sharp jamonero (ham holder) and a long slicing knife, securely hold the Jamon Iberico de Bellota leg. Begin slicing thin, even pieces from the top of the leg, working your way down. Aim for slices that are about 1-2 mm thick for optimal flavor and texture.
Prepare Accompaniments
While Chef Ben slices the jamon, prepare the accompaniments. Slice the fresh baguette into small pieces, and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread or serve it on the side for guests to dip. Place the Marcona almonds in a small bowl and set aside.
Arrange the Platter
Once the jamon is sliced, arrange the slices artfully on a large serving platter. Include the figs or seasonal fruit around the ham for a colorful presentation. Drizzle a small amount of aged balsamic vinegar over the jamon for added depth of flavor.
Serving
Serve and Enjoy
Invite your guests to the table and allow them to enjoy the Jamon Iberico de Bellota with the accompaniments. Encourage them to pair the jamon with the fresh bread, almonds, and fruit for a complete tasting experience.
