Boneless cured Savoie ham
(15-month-ripened)
Discover the unique and authentic taste of 100% natural old-style hams. A cornerstone of our traditional artisanal expertise, this Savoie cured ham comes from our own suppliers at Le Rougeot du Charvin®. After being deboned, it is rubbed in dry salt several times over two to three weeks, before being left to dry for at least 15 months in the cellar. This long ageing process gives the ham a fruity, tender and delicate character.
Savoie hams are notable for the Parma-style way in which they are prepared, giving them a fairly short, rounded look and a pear-shaped or flat form. Like all our cured meat, this product is free from ascorbate, added lactose, colouring and polyphosphate.
To be enjoyed in wafer-thin or thin slices or in sandwiches.

Mont Charvin's recommendation
Use very thin slices of about 1 mm thick to bring out all the flavours and aromas of our dried meats.
Best enjoyed at room temperature.
Traditionally, dry Savoie ham comes from chunky pigs fed on whey produced by small cheese makers. This complementary relationship between dairy and pig farming has now completely disappeared… But it is precisely this that Mont Charvin wants to revive with itsLe Rougeot du Charvin® label. Our Savoie cured ham is currently the only product which is supplied entirely by our exclusive quality subsidiary. So make sure you try our label!
Forget the clichés! Cured meat pairs best with white wine. It’s strange but true! Red wine’s tannins often overpower dried meat’s flavours. Rosé and white wines are actually better companions, or you could choose a red with a very low tannin content.
Dry white wine from Savoie and dried Mont Charvin meats form an ideal pair. Nature knows best, right?
