Whole Ham from Abruzzo Black Pork

The whole ham from Abruzzo Black Pork is a long-aged cured meat, made from fresh bone-in ham obtained exclusively from semi-free-range Nero d’Abruzzo pigs. This native, slow-growing breed gives the product high intramuscular marbling, a compact texture, and a unique organoleptic profile with complex, lingering aromas.

The ham is dry-salted, manually massaged with sea salt and natural spices, then left to rest in refrigerated rooms to promote gradual absorption and dehydration. It is followed by a natural aging period of at least 18 months, during which the ham develops its characteristic outer crust, the sweetness of the meat, and the maturation of its noble fat—one of the distinctive traits of this breed.

The product is available whole with bone or deboned, pressed, and vacuum-packed upon request.
