The Maestro Cortador Filipino<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The MCF has been offering their Jam\u00f3n carving services for events since 2000 in Spain. Now they\u2019re in the Philippines! They are experts in carving Jam\u00f3n Ib\u00e9rico that’s imported from Spain, specifically from the towns of Jabugo and Guijuelo. The MCF carefully selects their Jam\u00f3n to ensure that these are of the highest quality. <\/span><\/p>\n

Their jam\u00f3n is stored in their state-of-the-art storage that emulates the climate during curing. This ensures that each jam\u00f3n has more months of curing while they are in storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like the art of making sushi, carving Jam\u00f3n also takes years to master. Jam\u00f3n is best enjoyed when they are in paper-thin slices with a little bit of the lean and the fat as the flavor lasts longer and this way, the Jam\u00f3n melts in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n
