Rotten Parma Ham?

Dear Chef-Steppers, I need your help. The Parma ham in the Pictures has been in my larder for about 24 months. When I took it our of the larder I wasn't sure if it's still eatable. I looks like the ham is a bit mouldy.

Can you tell me if it is still ok to eat or not? It smells really good but the mould (if it is mould) scared me off. But I would hate myself if i threw it away and later found out that this is just normal...

White mould is a good thing,not black,soo wash in vinegar att cut away the black bits,

Magnus is right, clean it up and trust your nose. If it smells okay it will probably taste even better. You might bring it to your butcher and see if he will put it on his meat slicer to get really thin slices...

Thank you very much for your help! It is much appreciated ;-) No Need for the butcher as I am one hell of a lucky guy to own an Original Berkel from 1929 and in perfect condition.

Will let you know how it was ;-)
