About British ham

British ham is ham produced in Britain, but the name does not specify a curing style, cut or degree of processing. Ham is commonly sliced for sandwiches and cold plates, or used in cooked dishes; it may be sold cooked, cured or in other preparations.

Its colour ranges from pink to deeper rose, and its texture can be moist and tender or firmer depending on the cut and processing. It is sold as whole joints, slices and smaller portions. The geographic descriptor alone does not establish a particular recipe or nutrition profile.
