great video on par with your excellent presentation ( Eating Tapas In Lanzarote) I would recommend that video to anyone who has not seen it yet especially those who are thinking of going to the beautiful Island.
Thank you so much for the explanation about jamon. I just learned something😊 As a frequent visitor of lanzarote i really appreciate your channel! Thank you!
A most interesting insight into the process of creating the different types of jamon . I have often seen the legs hanging in the local supermarkets when shopping in lanzarote. Thank you. Chris Uk. 😊
Excellent Mike, I will try the superior one next time! meanwhile how about cheeses, I'm not mad about hard cheeses but discovered this soft, mild, and refreshing Goats cheese years ago and could quite happlily eat it all day "El Faro, Queso fresco cabra" 👌👌👌
I did not know about the aging process being so long, very interesting. Another interesting thing is that Spam is cured for at least 30 mins, until the jelly stiffens up…….. best served with a cup of tea.
Great video as always.. I have seen it in the shops and supermarkets, but never felt confident about going up to the counter to order. Do you ask for it by weight or by slices. Coming over at Xmas time and would like to get some in to have with some wine and cheese etc, to enjoy
You buy it by weight, Janice. For example in Mercadona in Arrecife, they have a whole Jamón section, where you can taste them, and they will slice it for you.
Spanish was my language at school, and it drives me mad to hear the more common mispronunciations such as, Rioja becoming Rioka instead of “Rioha” and chorizo becoming choritzo instead of “choreetho”. Not helped, of course, by many TV chefs getting it wrong 😆🤦♂️
Relax about it. You've had the benefit of having Spanish as your language at school, where most of your compatriots haven't. Help the people who get it wrong, by gently explaining the right way to say things. After all, my Polish pronunciation is crap, how's yours?
@@LanzaroteInformation you’re right but what’s funny, is that, just like ‘urban myths’, if the greater number of people think the wrong way is correct, it’s an uphill battle - aka waste of time 🤦♂️ Love your channel. We’ll not be back until 26/12-16/1, too many things on the agenda this summer.
great info Mike
Very interesting and very well explained! Thank you!
Very well explained, look forward to trying when we visit in October.
Wow, so much to learn about jamón beautifully explained as always. Many thanks Mike.
Found this really interesting, thanks for all the effort you put into these videos it’s much appreciated.
Glad you like them!

Perfect explanation. I do not eat ham in the UK but in Spain its my guilty pleasure.
@@jimbo8009 The same. I was never a fan of ham. Until we moved to Spain. But I have no guilt.

Ahh - El Faro, along with Finca de Uga regularly win national awards for their cheeses - a good call!
Great to learn something new 👍
Brilliant video as always! 😃👍 ❤
Thank you! Cheers!

Excellent video Mike, I’ll keep an eye out for Bolleta next time I’m over. On a different note, who are you supporting in the Euros?
I’ve spent more time in Spain than any other country in my life. So it’s ¡Vamos España! For me.
Great video. Its always nice to learn something new. I watch all your videos and can't wait to get back to Haria in December. Keep up the great work.
Sitting in Haría right now, enjoying a pre dinner drink.

@@LanzaroteInformation Thanks. Have seen it at Mercadona PDC and will be staying in old town so not far .
