About Jambon sec
Jambon Sec, or dry-cured ham, is a traditional delicacy deeply rooted in French cuisine, though variations exist across Europe, such as Italy’s Prosciutto or Spain’s Jamón. Made from pork hind legs, it is cured with salt and aged over several months to develop its rich, savory flavor and firm texture. Jambon Sec is high in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, making it a valuable source of nutrients. However, it can also be high in sodium due to the curing process, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring salt intake. Typically enjoyed thinly sliced, it pairs perfectly with cheese, fresh fruits, or crusty bread, offering a luxurious option for charcuterie boards or appetizers. Moderation is key to balancing its nutritional benefits with the higher sodium content.
