Ham and melon salad recipe, the rich marbling of mangalitsa is superior to Parma ham, and its salty umami flavour pairs perfectly with juicy melon slices. Serve this gourmet starter with Mozzarella balls and a balsamic dressing, on a bed of fresh peppery rocket.

The tender texture and unique marbling of mangalitza, known as the wagyu of the pork world, provides a complex, more intense experience than regular ham.
