  Virginia Gourmet Petite Country Ham

Virginia Gourmet Country Ham Slices - Pre-sliced for your convenience. An 8oz package typically contains anywhere from 6-8 slices of country ham.

Virginia Gourmet Petite Country Ham is no ordinary supermarket ham. It is Artisan quality, hickory smoked and dry cured the way the Colonists did at the time our country was founded.  You will find that this ham is different from your regular supermarket ham.

Country ham is a variety of cured ham, typically very salty. Country ham involves a method of dry curing and smoking done in the rural parts of the South. The ham is not injected with water, so you get more ham for your money.  A typical serving size for Country ham is 1-2 ounces.  This is not a ham that you would slice thick, like a spiral or boiled ham.  Instead, this ham is sliced as thin as possible - like prosciutto.  It is very flavorful, so a little bit goes a long way.

To thoroughly enjoy this ham, simply remove it from the wrapping, slice and eat. No need to soak or cook further.We recommend that you slice it paper-thin or shave thin, place the ham on a biscuit, and enjoy it with a little honey, chutney, preserves, or mustard.You may also use the ham to flavor omelets, salads, pastas, soups, etc. If you want, you may gently heat the ham but it is not necessary.

Enjoy the country ham experience!
