This uncured ham is already cooked, making meal preparation quick and simple. For a warm serving, you can gently heat slices in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. It can also be diced and added to various dishes like omelets, fried rice, or pasta bakes. For cold applications, simply slice and use in sandwiches or serve as part of a charcuterie board.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike conventionally cured hams, this product is uncured, meaning it does not contain added nitrates or nitrites from artificial sources. The cherrywood smoking process provides a unique, slightly sweet, and smoky flavor profile that differs from hams smoked with other woods or those that are not smoked at all.
