## Description

desertcart.com: 2.25 lb 3-Pack | Authentic Blue Ridge Mountain Dry-Cured | 12 oz Vaccum Packed Center & End Cuts of Robust Southern Flavor : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Excellent quality at a fair price - Don't buy this product if you don't like country ham or don't want to try one. Country ham is an old-fashioned salt-cured ham; that makes the meat salty and drier, therefore much less tender than your typical grocery store ham that is pumped full of water and cured in a different way. You can use the suggestions in these reviews to reduce the salt (like soaking it in water before using) if that's a problem for you. FYI: Ray's the least salty brand of authentic country ham that we've tried. You have to take the lack of water content into account in looking at the price; removing most of the moisture means that you aren't paying for water, as you could be if you bought a regular ham. The concentration of flavor in this kind of ham is amazing. True country ham is not that easy to find on the West Coast. Being able to get this from desertcart is wonderful. Getting it in packets of slices is even better, because It's hard to use up an entire country ham while it's at its peak. Most of the time, we cook up one slice at a time and use it differently than many people reviewing the product. We mince or dice about an ounce of that slice at a time over about a week and use it in many different dishes: almost any vegetable dish, rice (fried or steamed), stir fry dishes, poultry stuffing. A little bit adds a huge amount of flavor. Often, we use the ham instead of salt in a recipe - the whole dish ends up with just the right amount of saltiness, whereas using both the salt called for an in the recipe and this ham might be too much.
Review: SO happy I found this country ham! - I know if you arent familiar with county ham it may be a bit of a shock when you try it. Its salty and doesnt taste like commercial hams. If you are ne to country ham, try it with biscuits and eggs first. They will soften the distinctive salty flavor. But Ive had home made hanging-hams from barns and miss them! If you' re curious about country ham, look up how its created online. This is real food. R.E.A.L. food. But for me, omg... I loved it. I immediately made it for "breakfast for dinner" with 2 eggs over easy and toast with butter and cherry jam. Its salty, chewy, flavorful! I like to fry it in strips til just a little browned. I couldnt be happier, I bought 3 packages and put 2 away in the freezer for mid winter when I will really enjoy it even more with a side of beans and cornbread.

## Features

- DESCRIPTION: Each order contains three (3) 12-oz packages of Country Ham, including two center cuts and end pieces per package. The ham is vacuum-packed, shelf-stable with or without refrigeration, and expertly trimmed of excess fat. Thinly sliced for quick preparation, it sears perfectly in a hot, heavy skillet in about one minute per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F. This 3-pack is convenient for both use and storage.
- A TASTE FROM ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME: Rays Country Ham is more than just ham—it’s heritage. Crafted with century-old curing methods, our salt-cured, air-dried ham reflects traditions from North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Every slice delivers the deep, savory richness of authentic country ham. For over 75 years, Rays has been a Southern favorite, offering an unmistakable flavor that stands the test of time. Taste true Blue Ridge craftsmanship in every bite.
- RICH, BOLD FLAVOR – TRADITIONALLY CURED While many products labeled “country ham” may be unexpectedly mild, Ray’s preserves the deep, savory flavor that made Ray Goad’s legendary Country Ham Biscuits famous. Hand-rubbed with a classic blend of salt, pepper, and brown sugar, this Blue Ridge Mountain dry-cured and aged ham delivers the salty, robust taste that Country Ham lovers expect. If you’re seeking a genuinely authentic Country Ham experience, this is the flavor you’ve been craving.
- WHO WILL LOVE THIS HAM: Devoted Country Ham lovers who miss that true, salt, and dry-cured taste will feel at home with Rays Country Ham. This ham is for you if you grew up in the Southeast, where Country Ham & Biscuits are a staple at the breakfast table, family picnics, and funerals. It’s also a heartfelt gift of remembered flavors of traditional ham curing. Sharing good food is more than nourishment; it’s how we connect, reflect, and celebrate the ties that bring us together.
- FIRST-TIME BUYERS: WHAT TO EXPECT: If you’ve never tried authentic Country Ham, prepare for a bold, salty taste combined with a deep, savory flavor that differs from typical sweet "city" hams. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the slices in a dish of cold water for 10 minutes to reduce the saltiness. However, this ham is for those who appreciate a traditional Southern salt and dry-cured ham, with the robust, savory character that has made Country Ham a beloved favorite for generations.
- COOKING & STORAGE (OWNER’S MANUAL INCLUDED): You’ll receive an Owner’s Manual with cooking instructions—helpful soaking tips, quick skillet-frying methods, and optional red-eye gravy recipes. Once opened, wrap and refrigerate or freeze for future meals. This flexible format ensures you can enjoy hearty portions of real Blue Ridge Mountain–cured ham when the craving strikes.
- A TIMELESS SOUTHERN TRADITION DELIVERED Ray Goad was the first to serve Country Ham Biscuits for breakfast in a Fast-Food restaurant, continuing a 75-year family tradition of dry-cured, aged country ham from North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Now, you can enjoy this bold, old-fashioned flavor at home—a cherished tradition, perfected and conveniently available for those who crave and truly appreciate authentic Country Ham. .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best country ham I have eaten in 62 years.
*by D***H on September 15, 2020*

I love country ham and I know country ham. My family used to cure their own country hams, so to say I am picky about country ham, is putting it mildly. I still remember the last ham my granddaddy cured back in 1962 nestled in one of grandmomma's biscuits. I am always leery about purchasing a brand that I have not tried before. With a few exceptions, most just taste salty with extra salt crystals even packed between the slices. To get a good flavor in country ham takes time. Ray's evidently takes that time. I purchased the 2 1/4 lb. pack. I opened one 12 oz. pack and noticed no salt between the slices. I put it in a pan, poured a bit of black coffee over it, covered and baked it in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. I was delighted with that first bite. Really excellent flavor and lots of tasty red eye gravy. I have already ordered the 10 lb. ready to bake Ray's for the holidays. I just wish I had found them sooner.
