Three Little Pigs Jambon de Paris

Three Little Pigs Jambon de Paris is a French-style cooked ham made in France to a traditional charcuterie recipe. It is built from three whole pork muscles — not reformed trimmings — then delicately spiced, slowly cooked in its own juices, and wrapped in its own skin. That method gives Jambon de Paris its signature clean, mild flavor and tender, sliceable texture, and keeps it lower in sodium than most everyday deli hams.

The taste is gentle and savory rather than smoky or salty, which is exactly why it works as a base ingredient. Slice it thin for a Parisian jambon-beurre — good ham, good butter, a fresh baguette — or use it as the ham layer in a croque monsieur under a blanket of béchamel and Gruyère. Where an American smoked deli ham brings sweetness and smoke, Jambon de Paris stays quietly savory and lets the bread, butter, and mustard come through.

Best For

Classic French sandwiches, croque monsieur and croque madame, charcuterie boards, and everyday cooking where you want ham flavor without heavy smoke or salt. At roughly 11 pounds, it is sized for delis, caterers, and households that go through a lot of good ham.

About Three Little Pigs

Three Little Pigs (Les Trois Petits Cochons) has made French-style charcuterie since 1975, working in small batches. The name is French for ""the three little pigs,"" and the company built its reputation on pâtés and hams made the traditional way.

Jambon de Paris is one of the clearest examples of that approach: a simple, honest ham that depends entirely on good pork and a careful cook rather than heavy seasoning.

What is Jambon de Paris?

Jambon de Paris is a French-style cooked ham, also called Parisian ham. It is made from whole pork muscles that are lightly spiced, slowly cooked in their own juices, and wrapped in the skin, giving a mild, clean flavor.

How is it different from American deli ham?

Most American deli hams are smoked and often sweetened, and many are reformed from smaller pieces. Jambon de Paris is unsmoked, delicately spiced, built from three whole muscles, and lower in sodium, so the flavor is gentler and more savory.

How should I store it after opening?

Keep it refrigerated at or below 40°F, wrap the cut surface tightly, and use it within about 5 days for the best texture and taste.
