These biscuit-sized pieces of country ham are the same exact ham we serve here in the Loveless Cafe Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee. A perfect addition to any holiday breakfast or gift for Dad for Father's Day. Unlike many other country hams, our ham is cured with a blend of salt and sugar, resulting in a tender and moist country ham with a lower salt content than most. With each full country ham, there are a maximum of only 8-10 center-cut slices. Our Country Ham slices are a premium product and sliced thicker than most grocery store brands. **Meat products are currently unavailable in California (Proposition 12 Regulation) & Massachusetts (940CMR36:00 Regulation)
