Peguet Savoie Dried Ham Slices
What it is
These are thin slices of cured ham, specifically a type known as noix de jambon, which comes from the ham bone. The curing process involves salting and drying, which concentrates the flavor and gives the meat a firm texture. This preparation method is traditional in many European regions for preserving pork.
How people cook with it
These ham slices are a versatile ingredient for quick meals and snacks.
- Sandwich filling
- Charcuterie board addition
- Salad topping
- Appetizer component
Unpack the slices and arrange them on a plate for immediate consumption. They can be layered into sandwiches with bread, cheese, and vegetables. For a more elaborate presentation, they can be rolled or folded and added to a charcuterie board alongside other cured meats, cheeses, and fruits. They also work well as a topping for salads, adding a savory element, or can be wrapped around small appetizers like breadsticks or olives.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cured ham products, noix de jambon typically has a leaner profile and a more distinct, concentrated pork flavor due to its specific cut and curing method. The slicing is also done to highlight its texture.
