Hello everyone, I am Ramen those things, I engaged in Lanzhou beef noodle industry for many years, "Norton ham flavor unique", to see this title, perhaps many people will be puzzled, yes, there is a typo in the question, it should be "Norton ham" is right, then I will talk about the flavor of Norton ham in detail below, and what are the characteristics.

Norden ham is a local specialty of Yunlong County in northwestern Yunnan, it and Xuanwei ham, Heqing ham and known as the three major Yunnan hams, Norden ham itself, although tasty, but know that very few people, and it is known by many diners is an important reason to enter the tip of the tongue of the Chinese program, in a short six-minute publicity profile, is known to everyone.

First of all, curing Norden ham, is selected Norden local endemic black pig or hybrid pig fresh legs, first take an awl in the blood veins of the pig leg at the tie a few times, squeezing out the blood, cooled on a day, and then in the pig leg on the even wipe on the Baogu wine and Nuo salt, wipe side rubbing.

This will allow the pork leg to fully absorb the wine and salt, making the ham of Nodun flavorful enough, another advantage of doing so is that it can remove the fishy smell contained in the pork, so that the pork after the curing of the meat flavor is more intense.

Finally, an even layer of salt is sprinkled on the surface, and then the hand method is used. After being gently patted down by hand, it is put into a wooden jar or a large iron pot to marinate for 20 days. After 20 days of curing, take out the pig's leg again and smear it with another layer of salt, and evenly coat the outside with a layer of mud that settles under the salt brine (this mud has the effect of preserving freshness, increasing flavor and preventing insects), hang the ham with a rope in a cool, ventilated place, and it will be ready to be eaten after up to half a year's air-drying.

But in fact the real Nuodeng ham really need three years to mature, the longer the hanging storage time, the stronger the flavor, more than three years of Nuodeng ham can even be eaten raw. But like this years of Nuodeng ham can be said to be the best, because in up to three years of storage, the ham is very easy because of the outside temperature and humidity changes, and worms, so want to taste the best Nuodeng ham is really not easy.
