“The world’s most expensive ham” has gone on sale in London, according to retailer Selfridges.

The leg of Iberico ham, which costs £1,800 [$2,948.00], went on sale at the food hall in the retailer’s flagship store in Oxford Street, central London.

…

After being slaughtered their ham was salted and cured for three years, before going on sale in a hand-made wooden box wrapped in an apron made by a Spanish tailor.

“Connoisseurs will appreciate the melt-in-the-mouth texture of this truly amazing Spanish ham,” said Selfridges fresh food Buyer Andrew Cavanna.

…

“Every single gram will be savoured as one of life’s incredible gourmet luxuries.”

I love ham.
