Whole bone-in Shropshire Black Ham is bold, savoury and rich in British heritage. Dry cured, marinated in molasses, juniper and spices, and naturally matured, it features a signature black rind and is fully cooked for effortless carving and serving.

Inspired by the original Bradenham recipe of 1781, this whole bone-in Shropshire Black ham celebrates time-honoured British curing traditions. Each ham is dry cured and steeped for two weeks in a dark, aromatic marinade of molasses, juniper berries and warming spices. This process imparts the hallmark black rind and an unmistakable depth of flavour.

Following the cure, the ham is matured for several months to create its robust, complex character and satisfyingly firm texture. Leaving the bone in adds extra flavour during cooking and brings a dramatic presentation to your table.

Fully cooked and ready to enjoy, this artisan ham makes an exceptional centrepiece for special occasions or buffets, or can be sliced thin for refined sandwiches and cold cuts.
