Nature’s Promise Ham – Premium Deli Quality Meat
Our Nature’s Promise ham is carefully crafted from pork raised without antibiotics, delivering genuine deli quality you can trust. We cold-smoke each piece over hardwood to develop rich, savory flavor while preserving natural moisture and texture.
Every slice offers clean ingredients you recognize – no artificial preservatives, no added nitrates or nitrites except those naturally occurring in celery powder. Whether you’re building sandwiches for the week or preparing a holiday spread, our ham brings premium taste to your table.
What makes our ham different
Ingredients & Sourcing Standards
We source our ham exclusively from pork raised on farms committed to humane animal welfare practices. The pigs are never given antibiotics or added hormones, and they’re provided access to outdoor areas and comfortable living conditions throughout their lives.
Our ingredient panel is intentionally short – pork, water, sea salt, turbinado sugar, and celery powder for natural preservation. That’s it. No phosphates, no artificial smoke flavoring, and no chemical additives you can’t pronounce. The cold-smoking process uses real hardwood, allowing natural wood compounds to infuse the meat rather than relying on liquid smoke extracts.
Preparation & Storage Guidelines
Our ham arrives fully cooked and ready to enjoy straight from the package. For cold sandwiches and charcuterie boards, simply slice to your preferred thickness and serve. If you prefer warm ham, gently heat slices in a skillet over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes per side, or warm the entire piece in a 325°F oven until heated through.
Store unopened packages in your refrigerator at 40°F or below. Once opened, reseal the package tightly or transfer slices to an airtight container. Properly stored, opened ham stays fresh for 5-7 days. For longer storage, you can freeze portions in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months – thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use.
Nutritional Profile & Dietary Fit
Nature’s Promise ham offers a lean protein option with approximately 11 grams of protein per 2-ounce serving. The minimal ingredient list makes it suitable for clean-eating plans and families seeking recognizable ingredients.
This ham is naturally gluten-free and contains no MSG, making it appropriate for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those avoiding flavor enhancers. The sodium content is moderate for cured meat – about 480mg per serving – reflecting the sea salt used in the curing process. If you’re monitoring sodium intake, pair ham with fresh vegetables and whole grains to balance your meal.
