CITY HAM VS. COUNTRY HAM

“Ham is ham”, you say. Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. CITY ham, found in most supermarkets, is usually mild tasting with water added. This means the salt and cure are dissolved in water and pumped into the meat. COUNTRY ham is dry-cured, a time honored tradition where the hams are packed in salt and slowly cured and aged. The salt draws out the meat’s moisture, yielding a firmer, very flavorful finished product.
