Pork belly ham

Each piece of pork belly is meticulously rolled, bound with cotton thread and slowly aged using the traditional dry salting method. This process, whereby salt and spices are hand-rubbed, results in a luxurious, flavourful ham that is steam-heated to perfection.

Visually, the 100 Years Belly Ham stands out with its beautifully rounded form. The balanced proportion of fat and lean meat, coupled with its attractive colour, makes it a feast for the eyes. Its visual appeal is just the beginning of an exceptional sensory experience.

The aromas proffered by this ham are nothing short of delectable. Savoury and enticing, the scent promises a gourmet experience. The masterful seasoning with well-balanced spices and a hint of pepper complements the subtle sweetness of the pork, creating an olfactory delight that invites you to indulge.

The ham boasts a tender and juicy texture thanks to its expertly controlled cooking. It is delightful when served cold, but its flavours truly shine when slightly grilled. The heat amplifies the savoury notes, making the fat melt into a rich consistency that enhances the overall mouthfeel. The seasoning is well-balanced with a pleasant saltiness and a touch of pepper perfectly stabilises the sweetness.

The combination of its visual appeal, aromatic complexity, and exquisite taste and texture makes the 100 Years Ham Belly Ham a true culinary masterpiece that was lauded by the Monde Selection jury members.

These qualities have earned the product a nomination for the 2024 Jury Prize.
