Maison Dehesa The Essential Cortador Pack — Knife, Stand & Tongs

The first cut of a whole ham draws people to the table. Fix the leg in the solid-wood stand, turn its stainless-steel arm to find a comfortable angle, and work slowly with the Arcos carving knife. As each thin ribbon falls, lift it with the Arcos tongs and offer it straight to a guest. The kit makes that moment feel natural: one stand, one knife and one pair of tongs, chosen for the pleasure of carving and serving together. The ham is sold separately.

The stand gives a whole leg its own place at the centre of a gathering. Its rotating arm helps the carver work around the ham, while the stainless-steel knife and tongs keep the movement from stand to plate simple. Set it up before guests arrive, invite someone to make the first cut, and let the slicing continue as the evening unfolds. This is a lasting gift for a host who understands that a remarkable ham deserves to be carved fresh.

Pair this three-piece kit with any of the separately sold Maison Dehesa whole legs: the certified-organic 100% Ibérico de Bellota, or a 75% Ibérico de Bellota D.O.P. Guijuelo Reserva from 2020 or 2021. Each ham has its own character. This pack supplies the tools to give every one of them the attention of a proper first slice. No ham is included.

Clean and dry the knife and tongs after use. Follow the manufacturer's care directions for the wood stand.
