Serrano ham is a Spanish dry-cured ham made from white pigs, salted and air-dried in natural mountain drying rooms over an extended period. It is carved directly from the whole leg, thin-sliced against the grain, and served at room temperature. This set brings together everything needed to do that from day one: a whole bone-in serrano ham leg cured for a minimum of 24 months in the Sierra de Guadarrama, Segovia, plus a ham stand to hold the leg securely and a carving knife designed specifically for clean, thin slices. For anyone buying a whole serrano ham for the first time — or looking for a gift that arrives ready to use — this is the complete package.
Everything you need to carve — included in the box
The ham stand holds the leg at the correct angle for carving, keeping it stable while you work. The included carving knife is long, narrow, and flexible — the right tool for thin, even slices that preserve the texture and fat distribution of the meat. No separate purchases, no improvising with the wrong knife. Mount the leg, secure it on the stand, and start carving.
Two ingredients: pork and Mediterranean sea salt
Nothing else. No nitrates. No gluten. No allergens. No GMOs. The clean label is not a marketing claim — it is the result of a 24-month curing process in natural drying rooms that relies entirely on salt, mountain air, and time. Monte Nevado has worked this way since 1898, selecting heavy white pigs piece by piece and letting each one reach its own perfect point of curing before it leaves the bodega.
Awarded Best Serrano Ham in Spain — three times
The Monte Nevado Serrano 24 leg has been recognized as the best serrano ham in Spain in 2026, 2025, and 2022 by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture (Premios Alimentos de España) — the country’s most rigorous official food quality award. The evaluation covers raw material quality, curing process, sensory profile, and consistency across pieces. This is the same ham, in a set that makes it immediately accessible to anyone who receives it.
