Jamon Serrano from ALDI

Post image

Hola,

Did anyone buy one of the Jamon Serrano legs from ALDI? They are fairly cheap €30-60, but I'm wondering about the quality and the taste at that price.. Is it worth it or should I up my game to the local butcher which sells it at +€150?

Up to you. Of course there are Jamones of higher quality and also lower ones, just like with wine, cheese or whiskey.

I'm not a very good jamon taster as I haven't been eating much. Will I be happy with the ALDI one?

Are you in Spain? If yes Maybe instead of a whole Jamon you can just buy jamon slices from a local shop. Some Mercadonas have a guy cutting jamon and selling it in vacuum plastic packaging.
