This chilled dry ham is produced from selected pork legs, deboned for ease of slicing and handling, and preserved through traditional dry-curing methods. Crafted in the Italian style and vacuum-packed, each piece weighs approximately 5kg, ensuring consistent quality and extended shelf life. The VacPack format maintains freshness while supporting efficient storage and portioning.

Detailed Information

Dry-cured ham is prepared by applying salt to the pork leg, followed by a controlled drying and maturation period that can extend over several months. This process reduces moisture and concentrates flavor, resulting in a firm texture and balanced saltiness. 

The deboned format offers a uniform shape, making it suitable for slicing in professional kitchens. The finished product typically presents a dense structure with a deep red color and a delicate fat distribution, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel and nuanced savory notes.
