cured pork

Salted, smoked swine

Cured pork is pig meat preserved through salting, smoking, or drying.

The category includes bacon, ham, prosciutto, pancetta, and similar products.

Curing extends shelf life and transforms flavor and texture: a charcuterie board with various cured porks.

The term distinguishes preserved pork from fresh cuts.
