Mangalitsa ham is a gourmet masterpiece, crafted from the prized hind leg of a Mangalitsa pig known for its rich marbling and tender, flavorful meat. The ham is carefully cured with a blend of bourbon and maple, which imparts a gentle sweetness and a subtle warmth, perfectly complementing the natural flavors of the pork. The bourbon provides a touch of depth, while the maple enhances the ham with a delicate, slightly sweet undertone. After curing, the ham is exposed to a light hickory smoke, allowing the delicate smokiness to infuse the meat without overpowering the bourbon maple flavor. The hickory smoke adds a mild, aromatic depth, enhancing the overall complexity of the ham while maintaining the tender, juicy texture that Mangalitsa pork is known for.
This ham can be roasted, slow-cooked, or sliced thin for sandwiches or charcuterie boards, offering a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors. Its rich fat content ensures that each bite is moist and flavorful, making it ideal for festive meals or as a standout dish at any gathering.
Conventional pork is bred for leanness, resulting in pale meat lacking flavor and moisture. One look at our Mangalitsa pork tells a different story – the meat is richly red with beautiful marbling throughout. This isn't just a visual difference. The deep color indicates higher myoglobin content and intramuscular fat, translating directly to more flavor and moisture in every bite. When you cook our pork, you'll notice it stays juicy and tender, even if you accidentally overcook it a bit.
