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.

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!
