In Spain we have a term with a lot of feeling to refer to nostalgia: homesickness. A concept that, when we separate from our homeland, invades us. The good weather, the people… The Mediterranean diet. Ah, the food. As at home you don't eat like anywhere else and there is nothing that we miss more abroad than a good ham. What life would solve for us would be to receive a shoulder of ham from our land, right?
Well it is possible. You can send ham abroad. Of course, not all countries allow the entry of ham and if they do, each one may have its own shipping regulations. And in this article, we are going to give you as an example how you can send a ham to Germany. If you have a friend or relative in this country, all you have to do is visit our online Iberian ham catalog and read this post to alleviate their Spanish-style homesickness a little.
The journey of a ham to Germany: packaging and by mail
Fortunately, in the countries of the European Union the entry of ham is totally allowed. Although the packaging of the product must be taken into account, since a bad procedure could prevent its entry into the German country.
The hams have to arrive in perfect condition so that all their qualities of flavor and freshness are maintained, so it is necessary to have adequate packaging. They must be properly preserved during transport, whether in pieces, cut or whole. In the case of a whole piece, it must be wrapped in breathable parchment paper and in a cotton cover. If it is a boneless ham in pieces, the product is sent with a vacuum package in a transparent bag to preserve all its properties. Similarly, the sliced ham is vacuum packed, but just before it is sent to ensure optimal preservation.
Regardless of the type of ham product, it must go in a box adapted for its transport, preventing it from opening during the trip and putting the quality of the food at risk. In short, the actions you must take to send a ham to Germany safely are:
* Place the packages of vacuum-packed chunks or slices in a sturdy cardboard box.
* Wrap the package in bubble wrap to prevent possible damage.
* If it is a whole leg of ham, pack it with waxed paper, wrapped in a cloth cover and inside a moisture-resistant box.
* Wrap the box with a material that serves as cushioning.
* Close the box with packing tape that fully covers the flaps and corners.
* Choose a transport company that accepts properly packaged and packaged non-perishable food shipments and choose the type of shipment, ordinary or express.
In the European Union there is no problem in sending ham by mail, as long as it complies with food safety regulations and the export laws of the countries through which the product is going to circulate. The essential thing is that, depending on the food, it has been properly packaged and preserved according to its properties.
Although, if you do it as an individual, it can be an odyssey to be able to send a ham to the EU, since many transport companies do not accept non-perishable products for transport or, even, it is the countries themselves that do not allow their entry. In this case, the best option, and for which you will not have to worry about anything, is to send it through a business channel, since companies do have a commercial license that complies with the security regulations of the countries of the Union, such as Germany. You will only have to worry about choosing the best ham.
