Jambon de Luxeuil

Luxeuil ham is part of the Comtois tradition of salted and smoked products, which dates back to the practices of the Sequans, the Gallic people who settled in what is now Franche-Comté. It was first mentioned in the 19th century.

As a gastronomic product, it follows a strict recipe and characteristics:

- It is made exclusively from pigs labelled Porcs de Haute-Saône or Porcs de Franche-Comté.

- It is rubbed by hand with old-fashioned dry salt, flavoured with red wine (from Arbois IGP or IGP de Haute-Saône), juniper berries, spices and herbs.

- The minimum maturing period is 9 months, and 11 months for the "Grande Réserve" ham.

Supported by an association of producers, and thanks to the creation of new products based on Luxeuil ham, it is making a name for itself on the region's tables.

Because you can't find it everywhere, make the most of your break in the Vosges du Sud to discover this must-try product, and visit the drying room right in the heart of town!
