BONELESS NOIR DE BIGORRE HAM QUARTER, DERINDED, DEFATTED, LIGHTLY TRIMMED (20-MONTH AGING)
An endemic breed of the Pyrenean foothills, the Noir de Bigorre pig suffered a decline that nearly proved fatal in the late 1980s: too slow-growing, too fatty and not productive enough, it was ill-suited to intensive farming and industrial consumption standards…
In this context, a group of farmers, artisan charcutiers and curing specialists decided to revive this breed, to have its nobility recognised and restore its emblematic place in its native terroir. Today it is a PDO-certified product, with strict specifications governing how this breed is raised. Mindful of animal welfare, Noir de Bigorre farmers make it a point of honour to follow natural, responsible farming practices. All farms are located in the foothills of the central Pyrenees and consist of purebred animals that live outdoors in natural meadows. This woodland rearing method provides the pigs with a diet based on natural plant resources: grass, acorns and chestnuts.
Its creamy, marbled meat is now highly prized by gourmets and top chefs alike. It is then hand-salted with Salies-de-Béarn salt, dried and aged at the foot of the mountains. Like all our hams, it contains no nitrites for a 100% natural tasting experience.
Ingredients: Noir de Bigorre PDO ham (Protected Designation of Origin), Salies-de-Béarn salt
