Description
The recipe of Carmarthen Ham has been handed down from generation to generation, the family legend being that when the Romans came to Wales and settled in Carmarthen, they stole the recipe and returned to Italy, renaming it Parma Ham!
Or so Chris Rees said to Rick Stein’s visit to film his Food Heroes series back in 2002. While Chris improvised this at the time, it has since been hotly debated and even attracted Italian historians who conducted research and written papers on the subject. Their findings have been inconclusive, leaving open the possibility this story may have some truth in it!
Carmarthen Ham is dry salt cured then air-dried, sliced thinly and vacuum-packed in 60g or 125g packets. Slices will vary because of the shape of the ham – they believe in curing their hams the traditional way, with the bone in. Other hams in the market may appear uniform in appearance due to various processing techniques such as curing off the bone, pressing or using additives to create a consistent look. However, they take pride in their commitment to traditional curing methods.
