Jamon de Trevelez Ham
HK$75 for 120 grams, City'super

This all-natural, salt-cured ham is aged for 17 months in the traditional method by the community of Trevelez in southern Spain.

Verdict: this is delicately flavoured and relatively lean with only a few streaks of fat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daniele Naturale Uncured Salame
HK$46.90 for 84 grams, Jasons

Minimally processed and made from antibiotic-free pork and all natural ingredients, this black pepper flavoured salami contains no artificial preservatives, artificial colours or flavours.

Verdict: good, chewy texture and leaner than other salami, but nonetheless still leaves your mouth coated in a thin film of oil.

 

 

 

 

Organic Prairie Roast Chicken Breast
HK$53 for 170 grams, Jasons

This thin-sliced roast chicken breast comes from birds that have been humanely raised on family farms without antibiotics.

Verdict: moist and juicy, with a good meaty texture.

 

 

 

Disclaimer: while all these products may be natural and/or organic, they are still forms of processed meat, which research has shown to modestly increase one's risk of cancer and heart disease. Therefore, consume in moderation.
