Our Etxeko Ham

A ham salted and aged 15 months in our Espelette drying room, for an exceptional product.

What makes it unique:

• Melting texture and balanced taste, enhanced by notes of dried fruit and a persistent roundness on the palate.
• Prepared with carefully selected meat from the Duroc breed, renowned for its marbled meat, ideal for cured meats.

A meticulous manufacturing process:

• Selection of Duroc meat for its exceptional quality.
• Aging in three stages:

1. Salting and first aging in our Espelette drying room for 8 months.
2. Steaming for 45 days so that the fat perfectly permeates the muscle.
3. Classic aging for 5 to 6 months for a complete development of flavors.

• 15 months in total to reveal an authentic and unforgettable taste.
