Westphalian ham as meat of August !

Are you looking for a new addition to your traditional charcuterie and cheese platter? We have just the thing for you with Westphalian ham!

As its name suggests, Westphalian ham is a traditional raw ham produced from acorn-fed pigs raised in the forests of Westphalia, Germany.

Known for its vibrant aroma, Westphalian ham also has a rather original production process as the tubular bones of the meat are kept throughout the process as essential parts. The organoleptic properties of Westphalian ham result from the meat quality, the controlled production process, and ingredients including salt, curing agents, and cultures.

LALCULT® Protect Cure+ is an excellent example of the contribution of cultures as it improves the curing and sensory properties of the meat (color, aroma, tenderness of the meat fibers) while protecting the surface from unwanted contaminants through its bioprotective properties.
