About Jambon de Bayonne

Jambon de Bayonne is a French dry-cured ham associated with the Bayonne area and made from pork leg. It is generally served in thin slices as a cold-cut, and can also be used to season cooked dishes. Its curing and maturing give it a different character from fresh pork or cooked ham.

The meat is deep pink to red with streaks or edges of pale fat, a firm texture, and a savoury, salty flavour. It is commonly sold as a whole or partial cured ham and as sliced portions. Maturation and trimming affect texture and saltiness; the protected name refers to a defined regional product.
