I know, I know - but read this article first!

...and yes I’ve had 5-year aged Parma ham, Spanish Iberico ham fattened on acorns and phenomenal Kentucky ham.

Very interesting. Two things caught my attention aside from the type of pig. Stir frying salt & the mould. I am wondering what stir fried salt could be applicable to & what it would be like on some kind of meat.
I would like to see one of those black pigs, the thin skin & heavy fat is intriguing.

That's interesting, but they never even mention the real best ham in the world...

And people actually do eat it raw... if they can get it. I had some in Milan last year, on a plate with some really great prosciutto di parma, and frankly, the PdP was a nice second to the CdZ.

Too bad the only US source of a reproduction requires a rotary slicer. I'd have popped for it right away!
