A true Christmas classic, this Whole Uncooked York Gammon Joint is dry cured and matured for ten weeks to deliver a firm texture and boldly savoury flavour. Packed with heritage character, it makes a dramatic festive centrepiece for those who love hands-on preparation and traditional British cooking.

Reminiscent of farmhouse kitchens of old, this gammon recalls the days when hams were strung from beams and slowly prepared for family feasts. Crafted from outdoor-bred British pork and cured using time-honoured methods, York gammon develops a firmer texture and saltier finish than Wiltshire hams — perfect for those who prefer robust, full-bodied flavour.

Each ham is matured for a minimum of ten weeks before being supplied uncooked, ready for you to prepare from scratch. A 24-hour soak is essential to temper the saltiness, and full cooking instructions are included for foolproof results. For added ease, an optional cooking bag is available.

Serve it hot as a striking Christmas roast centrepiece, or carve it cold for Boxing Day buffets, celebratory platters and sandwiches. However it’s enjoyed, this gammon delivers deep festive satisfaction and a proud nod to Britain’s rich culinary heritage.
