Montorsi Herb Ham
What it is
This is a type of cured ham that has been infused with a blend of herbs during its preparation. The herbs impart a distinct aroma and flavor to the meat, setting it apart from plain cured ham. It is typically sold pre-sliced, making it convenient for immediate consumption or quick meal preparation. The curing process preserves the ham and develops its characteristic texture and taste.
