Does your ham need to be refrigerated?				This is a cured ham and does not need to be refrigerated until cut or cooked.
Is your ham real salty?				The only way to cure a ham is with salt. Our salt is measured for each ham and if cooked at a slow temperature should not be too salty to the taste. We do not get this complaint.
Why is my ham covered with mold?				Sometimes mold forms on the ham during the aging process or during shipping. This can easily be removed with a stiff brush and warm water. The mold does not in any way affect the ham.
Since this is a smoked ham does it still have to be cooked?				Yes, The smoking process does not cook the ham. You can bake, boil or fry it. Please see our recipe page.

 Why does my ham weigh less after it has been sliced?
When we slice your ham we remove the Aitch-Bone, which weighs approximately 2 pounds. The Aitch-Bone has no meat on it and cannot even be used for seasoning. We include all eatable meat, including ham hocks and butt end pieces for seasoning. We also scrape each slice of ham to remove the bone marrow. This must be done to prevent bacteria from forming. The ham loses ¾ of a pound during this process. Your ham will weigh approximately 2-3 pounds less after the slicing process.
