Storing Your Ham
Upon receipt, please put your ham straight in the fridge. Leave the ham in its vacuum packaging until you are ready to use it. When you first take the meat from the vacuum pack you may notice a slight odour. This is normal with traditionally cured ham and will fade in a few minutes.

Once open, keep cooked ham covered with greaseproof paper to prevent the ham from drying out. Never cover your ham with polythene or cling film, as this will encourage the development of mould.

Carefully following these guidelines will ensure that you maximise the life of your ham. An alternative is to use a Ham Storage Bag, a calico bag that can be dampened with some water and a splash of vinegar and will do a great job of keeping your ham moist in the fridge.

Freezing Your Ham
Our hams freeze well. Ensure they are tightly wrapped to eliminate air and defrost thoroughly in a refrigerator before use.

Reheating Your Ham Our cooked hams can be reheated for an excellent hot meal. Place the ham in a roasting tray, add a little liquid (stock, cider, wine, or water), and seal tightly to keep moist with a foil tent. Bake at around 160°C (320°F) until heated. Allow about 2 hours for a whole ham to fully heat through.
