Pigs suitable for Serrano style ham

[rogpayne]

Hi, Thanks for the information that does sound encouraging. I have much more chance of finding an old style fat pig here (Thailand) than in some western countries. I didn't think the hams were stored for that long! I thought it was a couple of years or so. You must be tempted to try it after all this time? Actually on that topic once you have cut into the ham how long should it keep and how would you store it? Many thanks. javascript:emoticon(':)')

it last about 5 minute in this house, but normally it last about three week when you first cut into it ,you can make it last abit longer on the bone by smiring lard over the exosed area,but will keep for about 3-4 months if you vac pack sliced waffer thin, big bit are to tough

Yeah, anything I make here lasts about as long! Thanks for the info I must invest in a vac. packer. Something I have been promising myself for some time now.
