CDO Holiday Ham

Ham has always been our Noche Buena’s non-negotiable staple. With the number of meat brands flooding the market, choosing which one to pick can prove to be a challenge. While others may go for random generic ones, I really prefer the premium kind.

When My Tummy is Full got an invite from CDO for the launch of their Premium Cut Ham, I thought it was going to be just like the rest of the hams that are made available in the market this time of the year. Apparently, even as Chef Rob Pengson himself vouched for it, the CDO Premium Cut Holiday Ham have three qualities that makes it a real cut above the rest.

1. the Holiday Ham is made from one whole boneless meat from the hind leg which is the best cut of pork for hams. Hind leg ham is tastier and meatier compared to the more common shaped hams. Shaped hams are already processed and although brands would use meat from the other parts of the pork, nothing can beat the goodness found only on the hind leg of pork.

2. the Holiday Ham is a high-quality smoked ham. The net marks attests to that. Only whole-meat hams can be smoked in ham nets because if it isn’t, pieces would fall off.

3. Lastly, the CDO Holiday Ham has no extenders. The appearance, taste and texture tell the truth. The ham is meat, juicy, and flavorful, and consumers really get the best value for their money.
