It’s Christmas time, which is synonymous with joy, gifts, celebrations with family and friends for most people, and, of course, plenty of food. Among the different dishes and ingredients that we can find on our tables this season, there is one that can never be missing: Iberian ham. Cutting it at home to eat during the holidays is quite a tradition, but it can also be quite complicated if we don’t know how to treat the piece.

To know the best tricks for cutting ham, we consulted Christian Sánchez, cutter at Jamón Joselito, who revealed them to us on our TikTok channel @comerlavanguardia. If you want to stand out at your celebrations for your cutting skills, avoid at all costs these common mistakes that can end up wasting the ham.
