What it is
This is a pre-sliced ham infused with the aromatic herb rosemary. It is cured and cooked, offering a savory and slightly floral flavor profile. The ham is typically made from pork shoulder or leg, processed to ensure consistent texture and taste. It comes in a convenient package, ready for immediate use in various dishes. The rosemary adds a distinct herbal note that complements the richness of the pork.
How people cook with it

To use, simply open the package and separate the slices. It is excellent served cold as a component of a charcuterie board or as a quick sandwich filling. For a warm dish, it can be lightly pan-fried until the edges are slightly crisp, or added to cooked dishes like scrambled eggs, quiches, or pasta bakes during the last few minutes of cooking to heat through. Its pre-sliced nature makes it easy to incorporate into recipes without any preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain ham, the addition of rosemary provides a noticeable herbal fragrance and flavor. This infusion offers a more complex taste than standard cured ham, making it stand out in dishes.
