Cover ham

Covering a ham with a cloth is important for several reasons:

• Protection against insects and dust: A cloth covering the ham can help prevent insects and dust from coming into contact with the meat, which can protect its flavor and quality.

• Humidity control: The cloth can also help control humidity in the ham environment. If the fabric is breathable, it can allow the ham to breathe and prevent moisture buildup, which can negatively affect its flavor and texture.

• Proper Aging: The fabric can also help promote proper maturation of the ham. By covering the ham with a cloth, an environment is created that helps the meat mature evenly, resulting in a more balanced flavor and texture.

• Protection against Light: The cloth can also help protect the ham from direct sunlight, which can alter its flavor and quality.
