OK, March 19, 2012Considering it was free with the ham I can't really complain, but you get what you pay for!
It does the job of holding a ham, but it's not very sturdy. The cheap allen key that came with it stripped immediately; I recommend using a better tool to screw it together tight, or the stand will be very wobbly.
The knife seems OK as long as you keep sharpening it.
IberGour sells 5 Jotas shoulders from several distributors. Each one selects their hams in the producer's aging room according to their own criteria, so the hams may differ from one distributor to another.
In any event, all purchases are made on IberGour.co.uk, and IberGour is responsible for charging for the order, sending the product and after-sales service.

Delicious, although not a lot of meat, March 19, 2012Very tasty ham indeed at a remarkable price. This is my first purchase of a whole ham (or in this case shoulder) so I wasn't entirely sure how much meat to expect, but I was a little disappointed in the amount that could be carved versus the amount of fat. I would say by weight about 30% of the shoulder was edible - but of course I have no idea if that's good or bad. Considering the low price of this ham I'm not too upset but I don't know how the value for money compares with other hams.
The taste is superb though - better than any that I've eaten in Spain. Don't expect it to last very long - next time I think we'll splash out for a proper ham instead of a shoulder!
