Consistent Frozen Solutions is a supplier of Ham in the Philippines.
Ham is a very tasty and common pork meat product served across the globe, and is very popular here in the Philippines. It is often preserved though various means, such as smoking, salting, or wet curing (brine cured ham).
Traditional ham is made from the hind leg of a pig, and that specific cut is called ham in itself. Hams have been popular since ancient time, and has been found to have existed as early as 160 BC in recorded documents. It was derived from the term hom, used to describe the bended part of the knee.
Different methods of curing ham are as follows:
– Salting – This is the traditional way of curing ham. Dry curing using salt was found to be the oldest, yet most effective and easiest way of preserving the pork hind leg. Modern dry curing process involves using nitrites, like sodium or potassium, instead of salt itself.
– Smoking – Another popular process of curing ham, in which the pork hind leg is placed inside a smoking house or apparatus and is dried by smoke. This removes excess water inside the meat, and adds a distinct flavor of being ‘smoked’.
– Wet curing – This involves using brine solution to cure the meat. Very specific processes are done in order to cure the ham using this method, but it ensures that the ham is cured evenly all throughout its surfaces.
The sweet ham variant is made by adding sweeteners like honey (for honey-cured ham). Most of these types of ham produce a very sweet flavor and its juices overflow with a succulent flavor.
