Celebrate The Holidays With Virginia Christmas Hams

Virginia Season’s Delight Ham (₱409 – 1kg)

When I was growing up, our Noche Buena consisted of sliced bread, ham, queso de bola, and mugs of thick, creamy hot chocolate. It has been like that year after year. When I grew up and became a mom, my sister and I teamed up and our Noche Buena table because playful. There was a Snowman-Themed Noche Buena one time and a Santa Claus-Themed Noche Buena next. The food and the themed changed year after year but Christmas Ham is always present on the table.

I guess it’s one of those traditions that will never change, right? Besides — ang sarap kaya ng Christmas Ham! So thank you to our friends from Virginia for sending over some of their Virginia Christmas Hams for us to sample.

My favorite from all the hams is the Virginia Season’s Delight Ham (₱409 – 1kg) (above) . It is made from whole meat chunk with a sweet and salty meaty flavor and a hint of sweet-sour pineapple taste.
