Roman Holiday with the Italian Style Holiday Ham by Cibo

No Christmas feast is complete without the mandatory quezo de bola and ham pairing, and Margarita Fores of Cibo PH weaves her own Italian inspired flavors to this festive tradition with the Cibo Holiday Ham. The season may be over, but you can look forward to adding this savory treat to your next holiday celebration for that cool Italian spin...

Post holiday breakfasts for me are just some of the much anticipated meals to start the new year, with traditional dishes like some ham and cheese from the Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners. Cibo brings its own distinctive spin to savory and tender ham with its own Italian Style Holiday Ham. 

Now on its 25th year, Cibo remains one of the metro's very best when it comes to authentic Italian cuisine. Weaving rich layers of fruity and bold spices, the Holiday Ham by Cibo is a refreshing alternative to the usual sweet and salty option. And coming from Asia's Best Female Chef of 2016, you can expect lavish flavors with the Holiday Ham by Cibo (for more on Cibo, see my earlier posts, Street Food with Italian Flair: Takin' It To The Street with Cibo di Strada... on their take on street food from 2017, #CIBO20: Cibo Marks Twenty Years of Real Italian Flavors on their anniversary milestone from five years back and Buona Festa della Repubblica! Italy in The Alley with Cibo di Strada...on Italy's national day celebrations from 2018 at The Alley). 

The Holiday Ham by Cibo has the familiar sweet notes we love, with layers of subtle hints from the vibrant and mildly tart orange glaze complemented by the medley of spices from the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves for that rich and savory finish. Complex with a depth of flavor, the Holiday Ham by Cibo isn't as salty as the usual ham with its spice blend and zesty orange glaze delivering that flavorful punch. 

The clove, cinnamon and nutmeg spice blend gives this ham that comfortingly familiar holiday vibe pairing well with the savory richness with each slice and bite. It's flavors you'd expect from Cibo and from Asia's Best Female Chef. 

Have a few slices with crusty bread and cheese, and enjoy the flavors of the holidays with an Italian spin. And the best part of the holidays are leisurely breakfasts at home, made even better with the new Holiday Ham by Cibo. Produced in limited quantities, the latest offering from Cibo will soon be part of your holiday tradition. 

The start of another new year brings with it cautious optimism and hope as we transition to this new normal. And there's always something to look forward to, like leisurely post holiday breakfasts for that positive start with the new Holiday Ham by Cibo...
