Prep Time

The salty umami flavour of Mangalitza ham 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, makes a great alternative to Parma ham, providing a complex, more intense experience.
