About Pork, cured, ham

Pork, cured, ham refers to pork from the hind leg that has been preserved by curing, commonly with salt and sometimes with other curing ingredients. The finished meat is typically pink to rosy, with a firm, sliceable texture and a savory, salty flavour; its exact character varies with cure and further processing.

It is sold in forms such as whole or portioned joints and sliced ham, and may be cooked or ready to eat depending on the product. Cured ham is distinct from fresh uncured pork leg, and products vary in moisture, fat and added ingredients.
