I know you do not need to refrigerate the full bone but I have a quarter pound of slices and it feels weird to leave it out. Is it ok to keep it in the fridge?

Thanks.

"Store your boneless jamón in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic."

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Correct pronunciation. I was instructed by a master cortador to keep sliced jamon in the fridge but to take out out about one half hour prior to serving.

Thanks for the info everyone. I did exctly as docsonz suggsted. We are near the end of a great meal with 4 (one guest, two roommates). I had the guest watch Bourdain's Adria special with the jamon. Then when we sat down, the first course was the ham on an oven warmed plate. Delicious.
