Dukeshill Cooked Mini Shropshire Black

The Shropshire Black is unique. Made exclusively by Dukeshill to a recipe created by Lord Bradenham back in 1781, like the York this is a dry cured ham. Minimum weight 900g.

What sets it apart and gives the ham its distinctive black rind is a fortnight spent wallowing in a special marinade of molasses, juniper and spices. The hams are then left to mature for three months during which time they develop their distinctive salty, yet sweet flavour. Produced to satisfy customer requests for the delicious taste and quality synonymous with Dukeshill, but in a smaller amount, these hams will feed 6 people or 2 people for 3 meals. Awarded the Royal Warrant in 2003 to supply hams to the Queen.
