Located in: Meats/Seafood, Hams
This premium Canadian ham is prepared in the classic French tradition in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, a small town that lies between Quebec City and Montreal. The hogs in Cap-de-la-Madeleine are naturally raised with no growth hormones or steroids, which is a rare occurrence these days. Their premium-quality hams are hard-carved from the leanest, most tender part of the animal and are 99% fat free. They are delicately coated with unique blends of herbed and spiced marinades and slow cured to develop a full, rich flavor and uniform pink color. We offer two popular flavors - Baked Black Forest and Honey. Each ham weighs approximately seven pounds, making one perfect for a Sunday dinner for the whole family, a party on the weekend, or a team picnic. Varieties sold separately.

We received a black forest ham as you were out of the original order. It was actually 8 lbs, and really beautiful. I divided it and froze some. It was just as good even tho it had been frozen.

Comments about Le Cochon d'Or Smoked Ham:

I picked the Black Forest and have never tasted a more perfectly seasoned ham. I always think that they should have "done this or that" to make it better, but not with this one. It was simply great! I totally understand why it is "out of stock". I'll be looking forward to purchasing it again! Thanks.

Comments about Le Cochon d'Or Smoked Ham:

This is a must for gatherings where you would like to make a wonderful impression and share a fabulous meal with others, while requiring an absolute minimum of work. Leftovers (if there are any!), freeze up wonderfully for a quick meal later. Wonderful as a morning meal with leftover asparagus, eggs, and a bit of hollandaise...

Comments about Le Cochon d'Or Smoked Ham:

The "Black Forest" ham was served to dinner guests with a simple glaze (sweet bourbon-mustard)with rave reviews from all. This ham is all meat with a great taste that is not over bearing. I will purchase this again.

Comments about Le Cochon d'Or Smoked Ham:

I opted for the "Honey" variety of this ham -- and served it today for Christmas dinner. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. It has a very slightly sweet taste -- very delicate and subtle. The texture is as near to perfect as you'll find in a boneless ham. It's not too salty, either -- a complaint I have with other smoked hams.

My family LOVED it -- they're still talking about it. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing this again.

The taste was great. We used it for a main meal, then sandwiches and I cut it in chuncks for entertaining. It lasted us through the holidays and I even froze some for later. We are only a family of 3 so the ham went a long way. The price is right too!

I have served this ham to my finicky family for the past two Easters and it is absolutely wonderful. They now clamor for it. No fat, no gristle, not one bit of waste. The best tasting ham right out of the packaging without adding anything.
