  • Viale dei Romani is the only restaurant in LA to serve this pricey five-year-aged Iberico ham. One small leg can cost upwards of $1,000. We went to the restaurant to see how it’s served, find out what makes it so expensive, and learn why nobody else is serving it.

    That ham leg is not even close to 17 kilos. Probably not even 7... It does't have a black hoof either (so it's not the best quality). That ham they are selling at a really high price would be average/low in Spain. If they are trying to inform people about something they should inform themselves first.

    @WoTpro 5 лет назад +1

    comes with a hefty price tag, i brought home 2kg from a trip to spain, 200 USD. but well worth it, the one bought was not 100 % Iberico pig, but a mix of Iberico and Duroc, still a good ham, but in the future i will only get the 100 % Iberico, the taste is much richer than the mix, although it was also fed with Acorn, like the pata negra.

If you a super expert you might be a able to make it less but it’s not usually the case. I do think he not cutting the ham properly and should watch some video on how to cut it properly to make the most out of it.
    J5’s is a really amazing ham and prociutto is not comparable to this product. We’re talking about completely different flavors and curing processes.
