PROCESSING
The processing employed to produce steam-cooked ham is what makes this cured meat unique. It begins by deboning the previously selected thighs. Then the thighs are massaged for more than 72 hours in order to soften the meat and allow the spices to penetrate thoroughly. Then the cooked ham undergoes a slow steaming process for about 18 hours, which makes it acquire its pink colour and its typical aroma and taste. Finally, the steamed ham is packaged, pasteurised and left to cool.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Cooked Ham has very ancient origins. According to a number of testimonies, the cooking of pork legs dates back to the ancient Romans, who were the first to prepare this dish. The process was quite different from today since the meat was first boiled together with dried figs and bay leaves in order to gave it a delicate spice and then it was sprinkled with honey to create a sweet crust that was particularly appreciated by our ancestors, who used to enjoy bittersweet flavours. The processing of Cooked Ham has changed and improved over time until it has become one of the best-known and most appreciated cured meats in the world nowadays.
