Workshop service · Barcelona
Been given a ham
and don't know how to carve it?
Bring it to us. We bone it and slice it in our workshop in Sant Andreu, and you take it away vacuum-packed, ready to enjoy with no fuss.
How it works
Bring us your piece
To our shop in Sant Andreu, Barcelona. It doesn't matter where you bought it: we also handle hams and shoulders you've received as gifts.
We work on it in the workshop
A specialist bones and slices it with skill, making the most of every part of the piece. If you like, we prepare the ends and the bone for stock.
Vacuum-packed
We hand it over in vacuum packs, ready to keep and enjoy for months. Easy to store, easy to serve.
Boning and slicing: shoulder, €35; ham, €50 (VAT included). If you bought the piece from Castanoble, €30 and €45.
We look forward to seeing you in Sant Andreu
Passeig de Torras i Bages, 117 · Barcelona. Our neighbourhood shop, from where we send ham all over Spain and Europe.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring a ham I didn't buy from Castanoble?+
Yes. We slice any piece, wherever you bought it. It's one of the services we're asked for most, especially after Christmas.
How much ham do you get from a whole piece?+
From a ham you get around half its weight in slices; from a shoulder, a little less, close to 40%. The rest is bone, rind and trimmed fat. That's normal in a quality piece: the intramuscular fat is a sign of good curing.
How should I store the vacuum packs?+
In a cool, dry place or in the fridge. They keep for several months unopened. Before eating, leave the pack at room temperature for about ten minutes so the ham recovers its full aroma.
How long does the service take?+
It depends on the piece and on the workshop's queue. The best thing is to call us or drop by the shop and we'll give you a date there and then.
