Duculty Cured Ham Loin

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Harvested from free-range pigs nurtured in the pristine countryside of Ardèche, each Ham Loin is selected for its impeccable quality. It gets seasoned with a unique blend of herbs and spices, then gently cured over time, in the cool clean air of Ardèche, resulting in a vibrant symphony of flavors. Each bite unfurls layers of complexity - initially a wave of profound umami, followed by a dance of subtle sweetness, hints of savory spices, and culminating in a pleasantly lingering salty aftertaste. The texture of the Duculty Cured Ham Loin is beyond reproach, boasting a tender, melt-in-your-mouth consistency that satiates even the most discerning palate. Its robust yet balanced flavors make the ham loin stand out, not just in the realm of cured meats, but across the entire gastronomical landscape.

Pairings & Suggestions

The versatility of the Duculty Cured Ham Loin lends itself beautifully to various culinary creations. For a simple delight, enjoy thin slices on freshly toasted artisanal bread. The tender ham, slightly warmed, marries harmoniously with a tangy layer of whole grain mustard and a slice of sharp mature cheese.

The potential pairings and possibilities are limitless.
