Jambon de Bayonne
French Prosciutto - 3.5 oz package
Taste the terroir in this gastronomic jewel of Southwest France. To earn the label “Jambon de Bayonne, PGI,” an ancient process is followed, and every aspect of the production must be artfully and carefully controlled. Only local pork from PGI-certified pigs and the mineral-rich salt of Salies-de-Bearn may be used, resulting in meltingly tender ham with deep, nuanced flavors, and a rich red color. Cured naturally where the warm wind of the Pyrenees Mountains meets the humid air from the ocean, these hams develop their distinctive characteristics over a minimum of 12 months. Somewhat sweeter than its Italian cousin, our French "prosciutto" is an excellent item to keep handy in the kitchen. Enjoy the unique taste of Jambon de Bayonne on a charcuterie board or as an ingredient in your favorite dishes. But we have to warn you that jambon de Bayonne is addictive; once it passes your lips, you’ll want to eat it every day.
