Smoked Ham Hock - Local Heritage Breed

Cured and smoked in-house, the ham hock delivers deep, savory flavor with a rich, smoky character. Cut from the lower leg, it contains a balance of meat, fat, and connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, adding body and depth to broths, beans, and slow-cooked dishes.

Sourced from our locally raised heritage breed pigs — a blend of Mangalitsa, Duroc, and Berkshire — this cut brings natural richness and structure that carries through in long cooks.

Raised from farrow to finish by our partner producer, these pigs are carefully managed through their entire life cycle to ensure consistency and quality. Ideal for soups, stocks, and braises, the ham hock is built to enhance flavor rather than serve as the main portion.

Smoked and prepared at Back Home Butchery for consistent size and quality — a traditional ingredient with dependable results.
