Which part of the pig does honey ham come from?
With honey-cured ham, you're buying a ham specialty. It comes from the leg of the pig. The fine marbling of fat makes the meat a truly special delicacy. This is also ensured by the quality of our pork. We source it exclusively from regional producers, away from any form of factory farming.

What does glazed honey ham mean?
Glazed means that the ham is combined with a sugar source—in this case, honey. This gives it a special flavor and balances out the saltiness. The glaze also makes it a real visual treat.

Which side dishes go best with honey ham?
Classic boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes are a classic combination with honey roast ham. Various vegetables, such as green beans or Brussels sprouts, also go well with it. Their savory, yet sweet flavor makes them an excellent addition to side dishes. As a cold cut, the ham can be combined with various types of bread or served as a specialty on cold platters.

Honey ham is a baked cured ham glazed with fine honey. A typical feature of this roast ham is the rind, which forms a beautiful crust in the oven. To achieve this, it is scored in a diamond shape. This requires a certain amount of sensitivity, as the meat must not be scored. Otherwise, too much meat juice is lost in the oven, and the roast becomes dry.

Whether it's honey roast ham for Christmas or as a classic Sunday roast, this ham specialty is always a hit. It's not only exceptionally delicious, but also quick and easy to make. Before eating, simply heat the ham in the oven. The grill function, activated at the end, ensures a crispy crust.
To prepare, honey ham is traditionally rubbed with a glaze made from butter, brown sugar, and honey. The rind is studded with whole cloves. Other ingredients and variations are also available, such as the addition of mustard or beer. Experiment and see what you like!
Glazed honey-cured ham isn't just delicious warm. It's also delicious as a cold cut, which any roast leftovers can easily be used for. Either way, this delicious, juicy roast leaves no room for waste.
