A jamonera is a form of clamp fixed to a wooden stand, specifically designed to hold a leg of Spanish cured ham (Iberico Jamon) whilst it is sliced. The long and flexible bladed knife used to carve the ham is known as a jamonero.
The base is more than one and a half inches thick --solidly anchoring the whole ham for slicing. The ham is secured to the base by a stainless steel cradle clamp lined with hardwood. All of the hardware is made of solid, heavy gauge stainless steel, for a flawless presentation. Drawing on his experience as the maestro, he has created a sophisticated gyro-clamp that enables him to turn the ham with effortless precision while the hoof remains secure. This exclusive feature is what makes the 'Iberico' jamonera ham holder the most advanced in the world. The final touch is a silicone cutting board is integrated into the base.
Once mounted, the ham is normally stored this way at room temperature, often simply covered with a cloth to prevent excessive drying.
