CAROLINA COUNTRY HAM – We use the same traditional curing methods that our family has used for generations. Country Ham must be dried in salt, air-dried until it loses 18% of its weight in moisture and has 4 percent salt. The humble ham is transformed into a Country Ham when the ambient temperature matches the seasons. This gives it a unique taste, aroma and texture.

A benign mold is normal and expected during the aging process. You can remove mold by cleaning the ham with water, and using a brush. Country Ham is a great choice if you like salty foods. This Ham may not be right for you if you’re new to Country Ham or don’t like salty flavors.

A TASTE FROM ANOTHER PLACE IN TIMES – Country Ham-loving people give us five-star ratings and tell us they have “finally found it”. Our story attracts people who are expecting Mother’s City Ham. We are equally disappointed when they don’t like it. Bon Appetit Magazine puts it best: “To Southerners, and pork lovers, Country Ham is legendary: An exquisite dry-cured artisanal beef that rivals prosciutto in its rosy hued perfection.”

SURPRISE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH A GIFTY OF COUNTRY HAM – Sharing good food is one way we show our appreciation. Families often move away from the food and flavors they love. Whole Bone-in Ray’s dry-cured Country Ham, aged dry-cured by Ray, will bring back the familiar smell and taste of home that we have never forgotten.

COMPLETE WITH A “OWNER’S GUIDE” ” – Since the day your ham arrived at our farms, we have used the same traditional curing methods that our family has used for almost 75 years. Whole Country Hams are so passionate about their hams that we include instructions on how to take care of your ham as well as the various ways you can prepare it.
