FAQ
Is this the same as 'city ham'?
Yes, this description typically refers to a 'city ham,' which is wet-cured (often injected with brine) and fully cooked, as opposed to a dry-cured, aged 'country ham.'
How is 'heated, roasted' different from just 'cooked'?
It means the ham was fully cooked during processing, and then further roasted by the consumer or preparer to develop flavor, warm it through, and often to add a glaze or caramelized exterior.
Can I eat this cold?
Absolutely. Since it's fully cooked, it's perfectly safe and delicious sliced cold for sandwiches, salads, and charcuterie boards.
What does 'separable lean only' mean?
It means the nutritional data reflects only the lean meat portion, with any visible fat trimmed away before analysis.
