Ham tasting and pairing with wines
Ham is one of our culinary jewels and is a symbol of Spanish culture and gastronomy. Although it is a true artisan delicacy, little do we know about its peculiarities and we are not able to appreciate and verify the quality of any type of Serrano ham.
Through tasting we will learn to check the quality of the ham and to pair it with wine. We will learn to notice its color or its shiny appearance, which is produced by the surface fat when sliced, and we will even be able to discover its age by its marbling.
We will learn to use the senses of sight, touch, smell and taste in an appropriate way, since the tasting will help us to discover the intense and pleasant aromas, the importance of rancidity in its right measure and how we can discover sweet flavors, together with salty and even bitter ones that will indicate how the winter was in its curing period.
