    What makes it different
    Fresh, not cured
    Almost every ham sold in this country is cured, smoked and cooked before you ever see it. This is none of those things. It is the raw hind leg, and it behaves like a roast.
    The breed
    Mangalitsa is a lard breed. It was bred for fat rather than lean, and that fat is softer and melts at a lower temperature than a commodity hog's. On a cut this size it means the roast bastes itself for hours.
    What you can do with it
    Roast it. Smoke it. Or cure it yourself — a fresh ham is the starting point for every dry-cured ham there has ever been, and this is a forgiving one to learn on.
    A fresh ham is a commitment and it is worth planning around. Give it a day's notice — salt it the night before, and take it out of the fridge an hour before it goes in the oven.
    FROM THE FARM
    We raise Mangalitsa here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. They grow slower than a commodity hog and they put that time into fat rather than lean, which is the whole point of the breed.
    How to cook it
    1
    Salt it generously the night before and leave it uncovered in the fridge. Dry skin is what crisps, and a wet surface never will.
    2
    Start it at 450°F for half an hour to set the outside, then drop the oven to 300°F for the rest of the cook.
    3
    Cook to 145°F in the thickest part, well clear of the bone. On a leg this size that is several hours, and the thermometer is the only thing worth trusting.
    4
    Rest it at least twenty minutes before carving. Carve across the grain, working around the bone rather than through it.
    What you're getting
    One uncured, unsmoked Mangalitsa fresh ham.
    No nitrates, no smoke, no seasoning — nothing has been done to it.
    Mangalitsa raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
    Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
