3 Days Before Christmas - Fiesta Ham


3 Days Before Christmas - Fiesta Ham

3 Days na lang at Christmas na. Kaya gusto kong mag countdown by counting the Filipino customs and traditions during this Holiday seasons. My ninth item Fiesta Ham.

It is said that the practice of serving jamon de bola every Christmas is a centuries-old tradition in the Philippines, dating back to Spanish times when illustrados enjoyed the most succulent, choicest cut of sweetened meat in celebration of Christmas.

These days, hams have become so popular that they are available all year round in various forms, shapes, and sizes: sliced, sweetened, spiced, among a few. But the practice of partaking of something extra special for Christmas, such as a ball of the choicest cut ham, prepared to perfection, endures.

Perhaps no other brand is closely identified with the Filipino Christmas than Purefoods Fiesta Ham. When it was first introduced in the ‘80s, it immediately became known as “the Star of the Noche Buena feast”, eventually becoming a popular Christmas staple in the ensuing years. source www.mb.com
