Olympia Provisions - Sweetheart Ham - 2.25 lb

Olympia Provisions, an authentic and house-made charcuterie and meats company based in Portland, Oregon, began as Oregon’s first USDA-certified salumeria and now offers food-lovers five Portland restaurant locations and online product availability nationwide. Salumist and owner, Elias Cairo, grew up first generation Greek-American, with a father who made charcuterie at home. After five years in Switzerland under Masterchef Annegret Schlumpf, Cairo completed a chef apprenticeship. Utilizing the finest ingredients, he developed his skills and passion for making charcuterie, and the experience affirmed his beliefs – handmade is better. Elias and his team start with a brine made with brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, fresh onions, chili flake, bay leaves and fresh thyme that sits overnight to fully develop all the flavors. The next morning they hand inject pork sirloin tips with the brine and place in buckets of brine for 10 days to absorb the flavors. The hams are netted and then smoked for 10 hours over real applewood and hickory wood to impart a beautiful smoke flavor. The result is a perfect ham! There's never any question as to the guest of honor at OP salumist, Eli’s Easter feast--Sweetheart Ham, and plenty of it. While you can always slice and eat our Sweetheart Ham straight out of the box, it's particularly delicious slow-baked with Eli's favorite sweet and savory honey glaze. Ingredients: Pork, water, onion, brown sugar, white sugar. Less than 2% salt, sodium nitrite, garlic, spices, balsamic vinegar.
