Once our ham has been sliced for you it should be kept in a fridge in our foil lined bag and eaten within 4 days. It won’t go off after that but the flavour doesn’t improve with time. If you forget about it and find it in the fridge after a couple of weeks then the best thing is to cook with it. For a classic Emilian dish, cut the ham into strips and stir it into hot taglietelle with a cream sauce.
