Xuanwei Ham, one of China's top three hams, comes from Xuanwei in Yunnan Province. Premium pork hind legs undergo trimming, salting, curing, fermentation, air-drying and over a year of natural aging. Scarlet, aromatic, crisp yet tender and bursting with umami, its nickname "Yuntui" (Yunnan's ham) designates it as a provincial culinary icon. (Edited by Guan Haoyu, intern Liu Jiahui )
