First of all, Xuanwei ham is not cured meat, but fermented meat, and there are no harmful ingredients such as nitrate. The green mold on ham is Penicillium, not Aspergillus flavus. This Penicillium is a naturally occurring strain in Xuanwei's unique environment. As long as it is the most authentic in Xuanwei's rural areas, it is not the most authentic in the market, and its taste is different. The most authentic food is cooked food, but there are fewer such things. Now, most of them are fed raw food. I have had the privilege of meeting several small bosses who pickled ham, and I have seen their process of pickling ham. It should be said that they all started their businesses with great care, but when it comes to the authenticity of their ham, I personally disagree.

If you want to buy authentic Xuanwei ham, please go to Xuanwei farmers' home. Not only is the quality good, but the price is super cheap. You can buy a whole good ham for 500 yuan! Retail is about 25 yuan! It is best to go to Longzhichang Town or Azhi Street and Tianba Four Liangshan. The local pigs are fed with cooked food in Liangshan, and the growth cycle is full. Then enter the winter and ask the immortals to see the day of slaughter (burning paper when killing), scald the hair with boiling water, quickly remove the internal organs and dismember it, and spread the hind legs evenly to dissipate heat. As long as the Xuanwei area belongs to the authentic Xuanwei area, it belongs to the high altitude and cold area, which is conducive to pickling. However, there are too many fakes in the industry and the taste is too poor. Nowadays, the living standards in rural areas have improved, and many people do not sell them and keep them for themselves.

Xuanwei ham, one of the famous local specialties in Yunnan Province, is named after its production in Xuanwei. Cut the section, the aroma is rich, the color is bright, the lean meat is bright red or rose, the fat meat is milky white, the bones are slightly pink, and it seems that the blood gas is still moisturizing.

Jinhua ham is somewhat similar to Spanish ham, which is made of pig hind legs and then salted and dried. The difference is that the eating method is different. Jinhua ham mainly uses some ingredients for cooking and soup, while Spanish ham is eaten raw with a blade directly.
