Anfu ham

Anfu ham is a type of dry-cured ham named after the town of Anfu in Jiangxi, China, where it originated. Red with a yellowish tint, the ham's skin is thin, but the meat itself is thick. The ham gets its flavor from being salted and smoked and can be eaten on its own or used to add flavor to dishes. It is made in Anfu and other locations. Anfu ham originates from the Qin dynasty. In 1915, Anfu ham was featured in the Panama–Pacific International Exposition. Chinaculture.org, a project of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China and the China Daily, described its shape as being "like willow leaves". Anfu ham can remain edible for years.
