Q: How do I store my ham after opening?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging or placed on a ham rack. Protect the cut part with a clean cloth or breathable plastic wrap.
Q: How do you cut ham?
A: Use a sharp ham knife and make thin slices from the heel to the maza (widest part). Only cut the amount you need to eat to preserve the quality.
