The jamón carving masterclass
Five hours in our Geneva shop, a knife in your hand and a whole piece in front of you. A Maestro Cortador guides every participant, one gesture at a time. You leave knowing how to open a jamón — and how to keep it.

Geneva
rue Michelle Nicod 6
A private session, from 7 to 12 people
The masterclass is no longer sold seat by seat. It is booked by a group — a company, a team, a family, a club, a table of friends. You pick the date with us, we close the shop for you, and the session is yours.
Seven participants is the floor: below that the session does not run. Twelve is the ceiling: above that there is not enough room around the stands to carve safely. Between the two, the price is the same for everyone, CHF 295 per person.

How the day runs
Welcome, coffee in hand
Meeting the Maestro, and a first look at the world of jamón ibérico before anyone touches a blade.
The product first
Origins, farming, the four grades. The context that makes the rest make sense.
Hands on the knife
Each participant carves a real jamón ibérico under the direct supervision of the Maestro Cortador. Grip, posture and gesture corrected one by one.
Tasting
The jamón you have just carved yourself, with a glass of wine chosen to go with it.
Diploma
A certificate of initiation to traditional knife carving, handed to each participant.
The class is given mainly in Spanish, translated into French and English as the group needs.
Included for every participant
A LA DULA apron
Yours to keep, and to wear the next time you open a piece at home.
10 % off on the day
On any whole bone-in jamón, knife or professional stand bought during the session.
A signature aperitif
