The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 10-day ageing at 30 ± 2 °C on the texture of dry-cured hams processed at temperatures up to 18 ± 2 °C for 12 months in relation with raw ham pH and salting time. Three pH groups (semimembranosus muscle at 24 h post-mortem: Low pH < 5.7, Medium pH = 5.7 ⩽ pH ⩽ 5.9, and High pH > 5.9), three salting times (6 d, 10 d and 14 d) and two ageing temperatures (18 °C and 30 °C) were investigated. Physicochemical characteristics, instrumental and sensory texture and product sliceability were evaluated on biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles. Hams with pHSM24 < 5.7 should be avoided in order to reduce the incidence of texture problems in dry-cured ham elaboration. Texture problems are especially important in hams with a reduced salt content that are mechanically sliced (not frozen). A 10-day ageing at 30 °C could be useful for reducing the soft texture problems in dry-cured hams processed at temperatures up to 18 °C for 12 months without affecting the product flavour.
