Had some family friends that recently went to Spain and they brought me back a little piece of heaven. Can't wait to try it and thinking of ways to implement some in a smoke. Any suggestions? Straight eating half with some fine cheese and wine for sure.

    That stuff is awesome.  You don't want to do anything with it that's going to interfere with the flavor of the ham.  Other than that, you could replace it anywhere you would use proscuitto.

    That said, a couple of ideas -

    Wrap around melon (cantaloupe).
    Wrap around asparagus
    Pizza
    Stuff into pork loin (or chicken)
    Use in some top shelf ABTs
    etc

    But really, eating it straight is generally the way to go.

    Indeed, I believe it would be.

    I agree with Buzd, don't put that anywhere near the egg, just get a good bottle of Rioja and enjoy!

    Thanks everyone for the post and suggestions. I will simple enjoy without the egg and with cheese and wine. I can always trust the people here for good advice.

    This ham is known for its slightly nutty flavor as the animals eat acorns.  Until recently, this ham was not allowed to be imported to the US due to health regulations regarding how it is cured.  It is a real treat and should be enjoyed with every bite.
