A lump of Jamon in my fridge grew some white mold. Is it safe to eat if I scrape all the mold away?
Edit: this is white mold, of the sort that grows on Camambert cheese, or so it appears. Not green or black mold.

Best Answer
Only for your information. The spanish ham can get moldy every time, because the curing process will not stop. And for sure you can eat after cleaning with oil. All this ham have mould but before it is sold they also clean it with oil or fat. Mostly the customer don't see it, but sometimes because of the humidity or if it is hot it can appear again, but it is not a problem for health (it is exactly the same as with the cheese.
