Smoked Ham 18 Months with Bone by DOK is a premium dry-cured and smoked ham, aged for 18 months to develop a rich, well-balanced flavor. This ham combines traditional dry-curing techniques with natural smoking, resulting in a deep, smoky aroma and tender, marbled texture. The bone-in format enhances its depth of flavor, making it a preferred choice for traditional slicing and gourmet applications.

Detailed Information

Crafted from high-quality Italian pork, this ham undergoes a slow curing process with sea salt, followed by a natural smoking stage, where it is exposed to selected hardwoods to impart a delicate yet pronounced smoky character. The 18-month aging period refines its complex taste profile, balancing subtle sweetness, mild saltiness, and umami depth.

The bone-in structure helps retain the ham’s natural moisture and enhances its aroma, while the intramuscular fat provides a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Ideal for traditional hand slicing, this smoked ham is a versatile ingredient suited for charcuterie boards, gourmet dishes, and specialty pairings.
