What Is Kurobuta Ham?
Kurobuta is the Japanese term for “black hog” and refers to animals of the Berkshire variety, a heritage breed kept pure for hundreds of years. Kurobuta pork is highly marbled with a beautiful dark color, firm texture, and naturally delicious flavor. Our animals are treated humanely and are raised on small family farms in the American Midwest without hormones using a natural slow feed process
Snake River Farms hams are natural products. Their actual weight can vary by +/- 0.5 pounds.
How to Cook a Ham from Snake River Farms:
Your Kurobuta ham arrives fully cooked, but we recommend heating it in a 325-degree oven until the internal temp reaches 140 degrees. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then carve and serve.
