Country Hams are a traditional southern favorite and take up to 75 days to create. To create a country ham, whole fresh hams or parts of hams are soaked in a mixture of salt and sugar for up to 45 days. They are removed and put in an equalization cooler for up to 25 days. The final step is aging, which can take up to 25 days. Hams can be sold whole, by parts or sliced.
Demand drives the amount of hams processed.
