HOW MUCH HAM DO I NEED FOR AN EVENT?
One of the questions we get asked the most is how much Ham is needed for a wedding, a baptism, a conference, an aperitif or any type of celebration where you want to look good with the guests
Will Ham be the protagonist in my appetizer or event?
We agree that the quality to choose is very important, but we always have doubts about the appropriate quantity for the celebration and it must always be according to the number of guests and the prominence or importance that we want the Ham to have.
If you choose to buy the piece and cut it in view of your guests, we recommend that its weight always be greater than 7.5 kg, regardless of the number of guests. These pieces correspond to Hams with a minimum curing time of 30 to 36 months and they result in exquisite pieces in flavor and intense aroma.
There will always be time to continue enjoying the Ham that is left after the celebration with your family.
If instead of buying a piece to cut it on the spot, you prefer the vacuum-packed ration system, the only thing you should know is that: 80 grs. if it is a hand-cut product and 100 grs. if it is machine-sliced, they can be served for four guests and The amount to buy will depend on the different products that will make up the aperitif or celebration.
Knowing the approximate number of guests, we have made this table:
···
Will the Ham be the star of my appetizer or event?
For 50 guests; 1 Piece from 7 to 7.5 kg. or 25 portions of 80-100 gr.
100 guests; 2 Pieces of 7 to 7.5 kg. or 50 portions of 80-100 gr.
150 guests; 3 Pieces from 7 to 7.5 kg. or 75 servings of 80-100 gr.
···
Will the Ham be accompanied with other products?
50 guests; 1 Piece from 7 to 7.5 kg. or 14-15 portions of 80-100 gr.
100 guests; 2 Pieces of 7 to 7.5 kg. or 28-30 portions of 80-100 gr.
150 guests; 3 Pieces from 7 to 7.5 kg. or 38-40 servings of 80-100 gr.
And so on in the proportion of guests you are going to have.
