Pork is one of the most popular meat products in the world.
Most people believe that the tastiest part is the neck.
Gourmets will definitely not agree with this opinion, because they have a completely different opinion on this matter.
Why gourmets call pork ham the best part
This part of the meat is located on the back of the pig and is characterized by a high content of marbling and fat, which makes it incredibly juicy and tender.
Marbled pork ham meat is distinguished by the even distribution of fat veins within the muscle fibers. This gives the meat a special tenderness and juiciness, making it ideal for:
- frying;
- baking;
- grill.
Gourmets note that the ham maintains an ideal balance between tenderness and juiciness.
How to buy quality pork ham
As practice shows, finding a good pork ham is a real problem. You won't find them in regular chain stores. You also need to understand that this part of pork is rare, so its price remains high.
Why gourmets love it
Thanks to its tenderness and juiciness, pork ham is an ideal choice for preparing dishes for special occasions, such as holidays or dinner for two. It can please the most demanding gourmets and become a real decoration of the table.
Of course, here you still need to choose the right cooking method, and this is not so simple.
