Ham production in Valle D'Aosta

We report the production of excellent ham in Valle D'Aosta.  Among the food typical of the Valle D'Aosta, the  Jambon de Bosses stands out for its refined delicacy: it is a dop product characterized by compact form, dark red color, aromatic flavor, slightly salty with a hint of sweet. The ham, sliced, or rather, hand cut is excellent when accompanied with a slice of brown bread and mountains’ butter, or maybe with honey and walnuts. The leg of pork used to produce the ham is carefully chosen from quality beef - a valuable breed (Italian heavy pigs) from farms located in the regions of Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna - is dry salted, with added natural flavors (thyme and herbs) without the addition of any additive. www.jambondebosses.it
