Panxian ham is a dry-cured pork leg from Guizhou and a Chinese geographical-indication product. The legs are salted three times over three weeks in the cold, rinsed, rested a month, then hung in a warm room for a year or more while staphylococci, yeasts and moulds ripen them.

At a glance
Panxian ham is a dry-cured pork leg from Guizhou and a Chinese geographical-indication product. The legs are salted three times over three weeks in the cold, rinsed, rested a month, then hung in a warm room for a year or more while staphylococci, yeasts and moulds ripen them. Made in 5 steps over 14 months – 3.1 years. The longest step, hang and ripen in the fermentation room, takes 12 months – 3 years (Li H 2022) and runs at 20–22 °C (Mu Y 2019). Salt is 8 % (Mu Y 2019). Staphylococcus and Debaryomyces do most of the fermenting.
Panxian ham is one of China's three protected hams with Jinhua and Xuanwei. It is made from local Pingdi pigs and ripened in a warmer room (20–22 °C) than Speck Alto Adige (10–16 °C).
Traditional household methodChinese Wikipedia describes legs rubbed with corn liquor, stacked, salted and pressed, then washed, sun-dried and shaped, and hung for about a year and a half to two years with cypress-branch smoke. It says the finished ham is shaped like a pipa.
Pingdi crossbreedsHams from Pingdi × Landrace lean to fatty and mushroom aromas; Pingdi × Duroc hams build the strongest aged aroma.
Safety
In a sequencing study of Panxian ham processing, spoilage bacteria and some opportunistic organisms (Acinetobacter, Psychrobacter, Brochothrix, Pseudomonas, Ochrobactrum, Macrococcus and Candida) were most common in the early stages. Their relative abundance fell and eventually disappeared during spontaneous ripening, which the authors read as a sign that the final ham is safe. They add that ways to reduce these organisms early in processing are still needed. The study used DNA sequencing and did not test for named food-borne pathogens.
Hazards the sources name: Acinetobacter, Psychrobacter, Brochothrix and Pseudomonas (spoilage bacteria), Ochrobactrum, Macrococcus and Candida (opportunistic or pathogenic in other settings); all present in the raw and early stages and found by DNA sequencing, not by a pathogen test.
Chinese Wikipedia says Panzhou has made the ham for more than 600 years and that it became a Chinese national geographical-indication product on 13 September 2012. The oriGIn product sheet says an expert panel made it the third protected ham, after Yunnan's Xuanwei ham and Zhejiang's Jinhua ham.
