How does Merci Chefs guarantee product quality?

We only work with pieces selected from the best P.D.O. (Guijuelo, Jabugo, Extremadura). We audit each piece before the event to ensure the optimal curing point and fat content.

Can a pairing be included with the ham carving?

Absolutely. Upon request, we can coordinate the service with a selection of red wines, Catalan cavas, or manzanilla sherries that enhance the notes of the freshly carved ham.

Does the carver interact with the guests?

Yes, our master carvers often provide brief explanations about the origin, morphology of the piece, and carving technique, making the experience more educational and interactive.

How far in advance should I book?

Minimum 50 people. We recommend booking at least 10-15 days in advance to ensure the availability of the master carver and the reservation of the selected piece.
