OvenHam is a sub-primal of the Leg – a large section that comprises most of the rear section of the hog. Because of its regular use, the muscles in the ham are well-worked, making it relatively low in fat and requiring a nice long, slow cook. Like most hams sold at the butcher shop, our hams come pre-cooked, so the heavy-lifting is already done.
Our chef-coveted Heritage breed hogs are raised in open-pasture farms in eastern Pennsylvania. Naturally herd animals, the pigs roam outside as long as they like and can come inside for shelter as they please. They eat a 13-stage all-vegetarian diet and grow to roughly 280 lbs. Like all stock we source, our pork is raised without any antibiotics, hormones or steroids, and our farming partners employ the strictest standards in animal welfare.
Loved this ham. Not overly salty (which I love) and very tasty. Shipment arrived as expected and the ham was fully frozen. I will purchase from Rastelli's again. All of our friends were very pleased with the flavor.
Best ham we have ever eaten , very delicious and tender
Very good flavor
Not as tender as I’d hoped.
