WHY WE LOVE IT

• Called the "King of the Charcuterie," a Serrano leg is both a Spanish delicacy and a memorable culinary experience – the leg is traditionally displayed whole on the table, and tender slices are carved by hand and served fresh. Produced in Salamanca by New York–based Mercado Famous, this outstanding leg showcases the legendary quality of premium Serrano pork, raised free-range and cured for over 18 months to produce exceptional flavor and delicate sweetness. An exquisite centerpiece for any gathering, it's ideal for wine pairings, cocktail parties, tapas menus and elegant celebrations.
