I immediately took a liking on this when I tasted it at the 2nd EB! Took home some but it was not as delicioso =(

Wilson, air dried beef? Yuck is right. Sasha, thanks for the link and I will visit it. mgr, yes, serrano is a reasonable substitute, but sometimes I find it a bit hard…

You can also substitute jamon serrano for prociutto. We serve this frequently at our “tapas” parties.

Hi MarketMan,

This comment is maybe a bit out-of-left-field but I was wondering if you’d heard about a blog called “Kuiadaore”? Anyway J, the blogger today posted comments and recipes about Jamon Iberico and Serrano and they are beautiful. Just thought you might like to check them out if you haven’t already, seeing as how you went to Spain recently. Here’s the link: https://www.brandoesq.blogspot.com/

Cheers,
Sasha
PS Really enjoying your posts about your adventures in Italy!! :-)

I know someone who puts air dried beef instead of prosciutto, yuck. . . where did he get that idea?? I really don’t know, but I think it’s terribly wrong. . . i just don’t like the taste.

Yes, Galileo Enoteca sells not only prosciutto but Prosciutto San Daniele which is a premium version…very good. Also Terry’s on Pasong Tamo and at the Podium and all Santis Delicatessen branches should carry it… anonymous paul, lots of melons in the Philippines are awful…perhaps if you tried an Italian or French Cavillon you could be persuaded to change your mind?

i really do NOT like melons. but i love prosciutto ham. whoever thought of air-drying raw, salted pig limbs for months/years is a genius. whoever had the guts taking the first bite should be commended. galileo’s in mandaluyong should have some decent prosciutto. or terry’s (not sure though)

the softness of the melon with the slgiht chewiness of the prosciutto, and the combination of sweet, salty, juicy! delicious!!

grappa’s at greenbelt serves something similar — parma wrapped around mango slices. i guess it’s easier to find good mangoes than melons in the phils!
