Uncured Ham Hock
Discover the rich, versatile flavor of our skin-on Uncured Pork Hock, sourced from heritage Berkshire hogs raised on a diet low in PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids).
Avg Weight = 3.5 lbs
The uncured ham hock has been preserved using natural curing agents with no added nitrates or nitrites. Instead, it's cured with a blend of wholesome ingredients: Pork, water, sea salt, organic cane juice, celery juice powder, organic brown sugar, organic cinnamon, organic clove, lactic acid starter culture, and cherry juice powder.
Mildly salty with a subtle pork flavor, enhanced by natural sweetness and warming spices like cinnamon and clove, this uncured ham hock offers a well-rounded, delicious taste. It adds a rich, smoky-like depth to slow-cooked recipes, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.
With the skin left on, this cut provides a ton of metabolism supporting amino acids, and offers endless possibilities—from slow-cooked, tender dishes to crispy, golden pork rinds made right in your kitchen.
