Duchy Ham - Delicious!
Posted by Meg
Delicious Magazine has named our Organic Dry Cured Ham with Juniper Berries and Herbs as the 'Best Organic Ham' in this month's edition of the magazine.
Our Organic Dry Cured Ham with Juniper Berries and Herbs (Waitrose, £3.39) is infused with rosemary and bay leaves and then roasted with heather honey. It is made using the finest organic pork leg meat and cured for four days before being cooked, for a rich and subtle flavour. Perfect on a piece of crusty fresh bread with some Duchy Originals Tomato Chutney.
Animal welfare is core to Duchy Originals and so we make sure that all of our pigs live an outdoor life, with typically two to three times more space than intensive operations and far more pasture, allowing them to root and forage and display their natural behaviour. Our organic ham is made from Duchy pigs reared in Gloucestershire. We have a dedicated Duchy herd on the farm which means we can confidently trace our pork from farm to fork.
We strictly outlaw what we regard as cruel practices - like tail docking and tooth clipping and, because our weather is so unpredictable, we give our pigs straw bedded shelters to shelter in when it's hot, and to keep warm when it's cold.
We believe that the quality of our meat reflects the quality of care that our pigs receive. To find out more about our animal welfare standards, read The Duchy Originals Good Food Charter
