Dapai Ham

　　Dapai Ham is a distinctive meat product from Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei Province.

　　Celebrated nationwide for its unique processing method reflecting the flavors of Tujia and Miao villages, it is named among China’s “Four Great Hams” alongside Jinhua Ham from Zhejiang, Xuanwei Ham from Yunnan, and Rugao Ham from Jiangsu. It has won the national “Shuoguo Cup” Gold Award and the “International Famous Food” Award at the second China International Food Expo.
