Hams & Cold Cuts

Ham is a cut of meat from the heavy-muscled part of a pig or hog's rear quarter, between hip and hock. Although it can be cooked and served fresh, most ham is cured in some fashion.
Ham can either be dry-cured or wet-cured. A dry-cured ham also commonly referred to as air-dried ham has been rubbed in a mixture containing salt and a variety of other ingredients. This is followed by a period of drying and ageing. A wet-cured ham has been cured with a brine, either by immersion or injection.
Cold cuts are ready to slice and serve products that consist of ground meats, which are seasoned and cooked but generally are not smoked. They are usually sliced and served cold in sandwiches or on party trays as hors d'oeuvres. Examples of this will include lyoners, meatloaf and roastbeef.
