YORK HAM

What is certain is that this most quintessential English ham is produced using curing methods that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. We carefully select the best legs of British Pork we can find, dress each with a pinch of saltpetre and then cover with a generous layer of salt. This process is repeated over a number of weeks before the hams are hung up in special drying rooms and left to mature for several months.

This time consuming process results in a beautiful ham with an unparalleled depth of flavour, and is the original source of our coveted Royal Warrant.

As a traditionally dry cured ham, the York is a little firmer textured and saltier than the Wiltshire, and should therefore be served sliced as thinly as possible.
