In the drying of Luxeuil-les-Bains, it is fresh. It is even advisable to come with a jacket. Hams hang in tight rows, light brown on the outside, rosé under the white fat when they are sliced. Everything is a matter of recipe: salt, time, smoking, rest. Luxeuil ham belongs to this family of French products that were thought almost lost and that regained their rank because some artisans refused to let them disappear.
