I was invited by Zomato to attend Camino’s Jamón carving Masterclass at Southbank with fellow foodie bloggers. It was a fun and educational evening to learn everything we need to know about the Spanish Jamón (ham) as well as learning how to serve/prepare them. The Master Class was held upstairs by chef Nacho del Campo with a demonstration of the 3 year old Jamón Iberico Cebo which is a black Iberian pig from Salamanca in Spain. It was interesting to learn that the curing process takes at least 12 months and then left with a stamp to identify the date of slaughter. We all had a go at carving the jamón and it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. We were shown other types of jamón being carved; ranging in months between them and prices. We sampled one that was nicknamed the Rolls Royce and I can see why this jamón got its nickname as it had a deep, rich, aged flavour to it. You can tell when the ham is of good quality when the fat just melts away when you rub it between your fingertips. We were also treated to Spanish tapas of peppers, cheeses, finger slices of flat bread and more.
If you love your ham and want in on the masterclass at Camino, it’s £30 pp and for full details on the offer; do check out their website.
