Our Cured Heritage Ham is made from Joyce Farms' Gloucestershire Old Spot Heritage Pork, a breed renowned for its superior quality. These heritage pigs are raised in a pasture-centered environment, ensuring they grow naturally and develop rich, marbled meat. This marbling gives our ham its juicy, tender texture and deep, savory flavor that is second to none.
Our Signature Cured Heritage Ham is crafted using Cure Master George Worrell’s family recipe, a cherished tradition that dates back to the 1940s. This remarkable recipe has been passed down through generations, ensuring that each ham is produced with the same meticulous care and expertise.
These exceptional hams are aged for 24, 30, or 36 months. This slow aging process allows the ham to develop a deep, rich flavor that is both complex and refined. Each stage of aging brings out unique characteristics, enhancing the ham’s texture and taste to create a product that is truly extraordinary.
The quality and flavor of our Cured Heritage Ham are impeccable, surpassing even the best imported hams. The careful selection of heritage breeds, combined with traditional curing methods, results in a ham that is juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor.
