TIPS TO FULLY TASTE IT
Steam-cooked Ham has a fragrant and pleasant perfume and releases delicate spicy notes that make the scent of this cured meat persistent and agreeable.
The same delicate and spicy notes perceived by the nose can also be savoured. Its slices are pink-coloured and give off an intoxicating aroma that will make everyone fall in love with them.
Steam-cooked Ham is great to eat on a hot, just-toasted slice of bread.
This cured meat is appreciated by chefs from all over the world: thanks to its delicate flavour, it is used to enrich many recipes such as meat rolls and make them tastier without covering their flavour.
It is also excellent cut into small cubes as a filling for savoury pies, or rice salads. We recommend enjoying steam-cooked ham with a glass of Ortrugo Colli Piacentini DOC wine, known to be slightly sparkling and perfect for releasing the typical aromas of this cured meat.
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.
