Description

Immerse yourself in one of Spain's most iconic culinary traditions with 'My First Slice,' an introductory experience in slicing Iberian ham in Alicante. Guided by Julio and Carol, professionals from Till Events, you'll learn from scratch how to properly carve a piece of Iberian ham. No prior experience is needed: the activity is designed so that any foodie can learn, enjoy, and better understand one of the great products of Spanish cuisine. During the workshop, you'll learn about the main parts of the ham, the tools used by a professional carver, and the proper way to handle them. You'll learn how to position the ham, identify the direction and angle of the cut, and work each area to achieve thin, even slices of the right thickness. You'll also learn how to make the most of the ham, reduce waste, and store the piece once it's been cut into to preserve its qualities for longer. One of the special moments of the experience will come at the end of the workshop: a professional carver will prepare the ham that you'll take home on the spot. Each participant will receive 2 packs of freshly sliced Iberian ham, packaged during the activity itself, so you can continue to enjoy the experience after leaving the workshop.
