The Yuletide season is almost upon us and what better way to celebrate it than with something that’s traditionally Filipino? We’re talking about Christmas ham!
Typically produced by curing pork, Christmas ham (or hamon) is a juicy treat often served during Noche Buena. This sweet pork dish is a staple every Christmas eve, when families gather to feast on delectable cuisine to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. With its tender texture and satisfying juice, it’s not hard to understand why many Filipinos are in love with this classic holiday dish. Looking to buy Christmas ham for Noche Buena?
