Zimbria Ham in Mangalita Pork Lard

Ham in Mangalitza pork lard – Traditional delight, noble taste, Zimbria brand

Zimbria elevates Romanian culinary craftsmanship to an art form with its Ham in Mangalitza Pork Lard – a traditional delicacy, slow-cooked and naturally preserved, just like in times when food was simple but made with soul. Each piece of ham is tender, succulent, and carefully roasted, then submerged in the pure, golden, and aromatic lard of the Mangalitza pig – one of Europe's most prized pig breeds. The result? Meat with a deep flavor, soft texture, and a subtly smoky aroma, perfectly balanced by the richness of the lard.

Serving and preparation suggestions
Heat it in a pan, in its own lard, until it becomes golden brown and aromatic, then serve it with roasted vegetables, polenta, or root vegetable puree. Also perfect cold, sliced thinly on a rustic platter with red onion, pickled cucumbers, and homemade bread. Ideal for festive meals or a traditional Sunday lunch.

Recommended pairings
It pairs well with sauerkraut salad, assorted pickles, horseradish mustard, sourdough bread, or a dry red wine aged in wood.
