This serrano ham comes in various guises, pictured above we have the hoof-less hams or "sin pata" full hams (with hoof) are available through the online delicatessen. There is also what is called a "Maza", the maza is the top third of a boneless ham (the part nearest the hoof) and is easily carved, weighing around 2.8 - 3kg it is an ideal way to taste test the ham before taking the plunge with a full 8 kilo leg.
The Anejo Especial should really be enjoyed either on its own or served with complimentary tapas such as toasted almonds, chestnuts or a good extra virgin olive oil.
