Just because it is chopped ham does not mean that it is the remains of the ham. Ham shavings should never be confused with leftovers or trimmings. Many people are unaware of the virtues of real ham shavings, but there is actually more flavour in them than in a slice. To obtain this delicacy, machine-cut pieces of meat that can no longer be sliced due to their proximity to the bone are used, and it is precisely for this reason that the flavour of the shavings is much more tasty and intense.
