How The Most Expensive Ham In LA Tastes
Viale dei Romani is the only restaurant in LA to serve this pricey five-year-aged Iberico ham. One small leg can cost upwards of $1,000. We went to the restaurant to see how it’s served, find out what makes it so expensive, and learn why nobody else is serving it.

No wonder they charge double the price anywhere else does, he's wasting a good percentage. Seriously, iberico black label is at most $20 in Toronto, usually 60gram packs are $24, but a little more if it's cut fresh.

That ham leg is not even close to 17 kilos. Probably not even 7... It does't have a black hoof either (so it's not the best quality). That ham they are selling at a really high price would be average/low in Spain. If they are trying to inform people about something they should inform themselves first.

They really went ham on the price.
Those chefs suck at cutting the ham lmao
Wow, I’d rather pay to go to Spain and eat the ham there instead of being scammed into paying for this overpriced Iberico ham
Your cutting technique is really, really bad, it must be way thinner and you take it with bread. I just watched a missed opportunity to really understand ham. Jamón ibérico is like Kobe beef and prosciutto is like the chicken from KFC, if you come to Spain just Avoid the tourist traps and try the other ibérico products too. And don't order paella unless you are in the eastern coast

The pigs are killed at 15min the old so the leg aka ham portion of the pig isn’t 37lbs…it’s only the ham that’s exceptionally priced the rest of the pig is more affordable.

It is not pata negra, to be pata negra has to have a black paw and that jamón doesn't has it. Also expensive Spanish ham from the ibérico pork normally weights around 6 to 9 kg, because ibérico pork is a lot smaller
You guys should go to Heidelberg Germany they haven't a wonderful burger place and it's wallet friendly it called Mahlzeit Burger
comes with a hefty price tag, i brought home 2kg from a trip to spain, 200 USD. but well worth it, the one bought was not 100 % Iberico pig, but a mix of Iberico and Duroc, still a good ham, but in the future i will only get the 100 % Iberico, the taste is much richer than the mix, although it was also fed with Acorn, like the pata negra.
Most expensive Jamón Bellota I ate was in Barcelona called Joselito Vintage which was cured for 60mths.... Joselito is the best & 5J second imo
He buys the whole leg for around $1000 but sells it for around $17k+. WOW. NOW THATS TOO MUCH OF A MARK-UP!

4.000 euro you have a whole leg of the best jamon breed almost free alongside with fighting bulls .... i mean if he sells 1000 usd for 17k... that would be 68.000 usd?? XDDD you can buy 5j in spain for 500 euro
Jamón ibérico is not like prosciutto, it is similar to Jamón Serrano, more industrial but good nonetheless, ibérico is another thing it is súper premium, it means it is from a very small region and has only been feed with acorn. A real delicacy.

100% Iberico pigs must also be free range pigs and the range must not have more than 2 animals per hectar. (that's about 2.4 acres, so each animal must have just over 1 acre to himself)
Left out the key part of the ham,which is how it must be sliced. Great job ladies.
So they make $18,000 charging customers for ham worth $1,000. Wow

The good and bad thing of iberico ham is that when you start the only way to stop is when there is no more left. Even if you are full and is the end on the dinner, you always can eat.
Oh god, I thought that was a human on the thumbnail 🤭
Sydney, what kind of lipstick are you wearing?!? I can’t believe it stayed on so well!
You can buy pata negra from 5 JotAs (not jotEs) at Costco. It's so fatty, it coats your mouth in lard. Probably why they drink so much wine in Spain. It's amazing.

Iberico ham highlighted with pizza, lasagna and arrivederci as an outro. Who's going to tell them? 😄
I cut plenty of Iberian ham pata negra and I know for a fact that there is at least 1/3 of waste on the ham from all the trimmings that need to be done. If you a super expert you might be a able to make it less but it’s not usually the case. I do think he not cutting the ham properly and should watch some video on how to cut it properly to make the most out of it. J5’s is a really amazing ham and prociutto is not comparable to this product. We’re talking about completely different flavors and curing processes.
Wow awesome delicious ham
I get a leg each year, it costs alot but it's worth it.
