Sourced from a family run farm at the top of the South Downs, near Brighton.
Gammon is the hind leg of the pig. The process of turning it into a gammon is by curing by dry-salting or brining.
The pigs are free range and fully outdoor reared. The breed are Duroc/Hampshire crosses.
Free from hormones or growth promoters.
