Ate the whole thing in one sitting.
Best ibérico I've had stateside. The cure really does make a difference.

Better than my local spot.
Opened a bottle of fino, set out the box, and that was dinner.

Worth it, but order enough.
120g doesn't go far between three people. Size up, and the subscription makes the price easier.
