Traditionally, in village houses, Serrano hams have been cured in the highest parts of the houses. Barns, dormers, attics, lofts, etc. Nowadays, quality producers have built large warehouses in the mountains to be able to cover the great demand for this product. The only difference is the size of the facilities, but the method remains the same, spaces with high ceilings where the air can circulate correctly and regulating the temperature and humidity only with the manual opening and closing of the windows to achieve an excellent Cured Ham leg.
Buy 100% natural Serrano Ham.
Today, due to the high international demand for Spanish Serrano ham, the industry in the sector is basically divided into two types of production depending on the type of dryer used: natural or artificial (forced dryer).
While the natural ham drying rooms must be located in areas where the weather facilitates healing, such as those located in Sierra Nevada, in the Alpujarra of Granada, where you can buy 100% natural Trevélez hams, with rather cold and dry climates, artificial ones they can be found anywhere. This is because this type of dryer makes use of cold and humidity control equipment to be able to recreate any climate in any place and season of the year.
