Indispensable for anyone who never wants to be caught out while entertaining. Jambon cru (cured ham) is a veritable saviour of the impromptu drinks, the perfect opener to any meal, the silencer of sudden cravings. But there’s a whole art involved in becoming jambon cru, in the trip from a pig’s thigh to the cellar hook. This art is completely bound up in the know-how and terroir of our Masters of Ham. The breed of the pig, where it is reared and the quality of the maturation process are all primordial elements contributing to the future quality of the jambon.
