Lady Edison Extra Fancy Country Ham North Carolina

Deep umami funk from the extended ambient aging, rich nuttiness, and gentle sweetness, with well-balanced salt that lingers without overpowering. Silky, almost translucent texture. No smoke; dry-cured only, which distinguishes it from most American country hams and moves it closer to Jamon Ibérico and Prosciutto in character.

The funk intensifies with age; the flagship Extra Fancy at 18 to 24 months is the most pronounced expression. A three-way heritage cross of Berkshire, Chester White, and Duroc, pasture-raised, non-GMO, no antibiotics. Cured through seasonal rooms mimicking winter, spring, summer, and fall to develop the characteristic proteins breakdown and umami character.
