Attic Aged Cooked Country Ham
Cured with a simple salt, sugar, and black pepper mixture, then aged for over 210 days for a bold flavor.
All of our country ham products are handcrafted and made from nearly a century of experience. Our E.M. Burger Private Stash - Attic Aged Half Country Ham is created from a fresh ham that's hand-rubbed with a simple salt, sugar, black pepper mixture, then cured & aged for over 210 days for a bold flavor that's distinct to our country ham.
Next, it's fully cooked and expertly packaged to guarantee safe arrival at its destination. It comes with our complimentary ham glaze and is available unsliced or spiral sliced.
Since it's fully cooked, this ham can be served at room temperature or slightly heated.
