🐷 The Cured Ham Slice - The Perfect Cut for Home
The ham slice is the ideal cut for those who want the quality of artisan Tuscan cured ham in a convenient, manageable size - perfect for slicing at home with a good knife, without the need for professional equipment.
The production of our Aged Cured Ham begins with artisan massage salting - a manual, repeated and vigorous process that allows the salt to penetrate deep into the meat fibres. After resting in refrigerated cells, the ham is seasoned with pepper, natural aromas and selected spices, then transferred to well-ventilated rooms for curing.
The curing lasts 9 to 12 months - a carefully calibrated period to bring each slice to its peak of maturation, without over-curing. Like a wine that has its ideal moment to be opened, every ham has its perfect time: the moment when aromas and flavours reach their maximum expression.

🔪 How to Enjoy It - The Tuscan Way
Step 1 - Tempering Remove the ham slice from the refrigerator at least 20-30 minutes before slicing. At room temperature the fat softens and releases its full aromatic profile - the bouquet of the curing opens completely at 18-20°C.
Step 2 - Slicing Use a long, thin, sharp knife with a smooth blade. Slice as thinly as possible - almost translucent. The fat melts on the palate and balances the savouriness of the meat: this is the secret of Tuscan cured ham. Do not remove the fat - it is the flavour carrier.
Step 3 - Accompaniment Unsalted Tuscan bread - Pane Sciocco - is the ideal accompaniment. The salt-free bread allows the ham's seasoning to come through fully without competing. A drizzle of Olio Toscano IGP extra virgin olive oil on the bread completes the picture.
🍳 Recipe with Aged Cured Ham - Crostini with Ham and Plum Tomatoes
A simple and authentic recipe from the Tuscan tradition:
Ingredients for 4 people: 8 ripe plum tomatoes · 8 slices of cured ham · 4 slices of Tuscan bread · 6 anchovy fillets in oil · 2 sprigs of thyme · extra virgin olive oil
Method: Blanch the tomatoes briefly in boiling water, drain and peel. Cut into four wedges, remove the seeds and cut into strips. Season with a tablespoon of olive oil and thyme leaves.
Finely chop the remaining thyme leaves and scatter over the bread slices. Drizzle each slice with a teaspoon of olive oil and toast briefly under the grill.
Lay the ham slices on a chopping board, place the tomato strips at the edge of each one and roll the ham around the tomatoes. Place the rolls on the warm bread, top with one and a half anchovy fillets and serve.
🍷 Wine Pairing - The Tuscan Table

- 🧀 Pecorino Toscano DOP Stagionato - the dry saltiness of the Pecorino with the spiced sweetness of the aged ham creates one of the most classic combinations of the Sienese tradition

🧠 FAQ - Tuscan Aged Cured Ham
What is the difference between a ham slice and a whole ham? The ham slice is a portion of the whole ham - the ideal cut for those who want the quality of artisan ham in a convenient household size. Same raw materials, same curing, same quality - in a domestic format.
How long does the ham keep after delivery? Vacuum-packed and unopened, 30-45 days in the refrigerator at 0-4°C. Once opened, consume within 7-10 days, covering the cut surface with cling film or greaseproof paper.
Can I slice it without a meat slicer? Yes - with a long, thin, smooth-bladed knife you can achieve very thin slices. The ham slice is specifically designed for home slicing.
