Dongxiang Ham

Dongxiang Ham

　　Dongxiang Ham is one of the famous specialties of Jiangxi Province. It is not only popular in mainland China as well as in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, but also exported to various countries in Southeast Asia. In 1915, it was showcased at the Panama International Exposition and received high praise. The ham slices, ham centers, and cooked hams submitted by Anfu Ham Group Co., Ltd. for the 1996 "International Food and Technology Expo" all won gold medals. The main ingredient for making the ham is the hind leg of the Anfu Rice Pig. There are countless plump pigs around the world, so why is the ham made from the hind legs of the Anfu Rice Pig especially popular? Aside from the unique production methods developed through years of experience by local artisans, interesting folk tales have also helped boost the ham’s fame, enabling it to be sold far and wide.
