Description
Sliced Cooked Ham
Our sliced cooked ham is from outdoor reared pigs that have taken longer to mature and carry the essential extra fat that produces really succulent, flavoursome meat.
Brine-cured ham – otherwise known as “wet cured ham” – is prepared over several days using a combination of salt, water, molasses and other key ingredients to infuse the meat with incredible flavour. A ready-cooked ham joint can be enjoyed as sandwich meat, in a cold buffet or, of course, as a Christmas ham to play a supporting role during the festive season.
Free range pork for the very best joint of ham
While you will often find cooked ham joints for sale at supermarkets, the quality of the cut and the care of the preparation can leave a lot to be desired. Indeed, in many cases the ham itself is formed and not a joint prepared by a butcher.
Our pork is sourced from small, local, family-run farms in Dorset and Wiltshire with the highest standards of animal welfare. We believe strongly that small-scale farming is better for the farmer, the animal, the local ecology, and for you, producing exceptionally tasting, ethically reared meat that you can trust completely.
Order from the Dorset Meat Company and you can simply choose to have cooked hams delivered direct to your door from the hands of our professional, experienced team of butchers and cooks. Easier to slice than a ham on the bone, this hefty joint taken from the leg of the pig is stunning as a centrepiece in a Boxing Day spread or even a summer celebration. Our roast ham joint offers a rich yet surprisingly delicate flavour.
