Choose The Ham That Is Right For You

There is a wide variety of flavors in the world of hams, and each difference is dependent on a number of factors. The curing method, the type of wood for smoking, and the age of the ham are just some of the critical parts of crafting a ham's taste profile. Sometimes picking the right ham for your special occasion can be daunting. That's why we've created this outline to help you decide between Country hams, Sweet hams, and the award-winning Surryano ham.
  

COUNTRY HAMS
Edwards' Country Hams are hand-rubbed with salt through a process called dry curing. They are then smoked with natural hickory wood and aged up to 200 days, depending on the country ham. The longer you age the ham, the more intense the flavor.
