We uncover the age-old secrets of curing and smoking hams to create a culinary masterpiece with an unrivaled taste.
In this highly informative video, we take you step-by-step through the intricate process of transforming ordinary pork hams into a work of art.
Requiring patience and precision, the hams undergo a meticulous 15-day curing process.
During this time, they undergo a transformative ritual - being washed and watered for two days to enhance their tenderness and moisture content.
Following this, the hams are expertly air-dried for an additional two days to ensure optimal texture and flavor development.
The hams are then exposed to the gentle embrace of a fragrant wood-fired smoke for a full 12 hours.
This smoking process imbues the hams with a unique flavor. Each batch of hams need 12-hour rest, allowing the flavors to marry and settle.
This rest period is repeated three times, perfecting the harmony between the curing, smoking, and resting stages.
