Remove the Jamón from refrigeration 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to fully develop.
Step 2
Wipe the ham lightly with a clean cloth to remove any surface mold or salt crystals.
Step 3
Using a sharp, thin-bladed ham knife or mandoline, slice the Jamón paper-thin, following the grain of the meat.
Step 4
Arrange slices on a serving platter, slightly overlapping, to showcase the marbling and color.

Serve immediately at room temperature with crusty bread, olives, and Spanish cheese for an authentic experience.
