Anfu ham (Chinese: 安福火腿; pinyin: Ānfú huǒtuǐ) is a type of dry-cured ham named after the town of AnfuinJiangxi, China, where it originated.[1] Red with a yellowish tint, the ham's skin is thin, but the meat itself is thick.[2] The ham gets its flavor from being salted and smoked and can be eaten on its own or used to add flavor to dishes.[1] It is made in Anfu and other locations.[2]
Anfu ham originates from the Qin dynasty. In 1915, Anfu ham was featured in the Panama–Pacific International Exposition.[3] Chinaculture.org, a project of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China and the China Daily, described its shape as being "like willow leaves".[3] Anfu ham can remain edible for years.[2]
