An unsmoked ham hock (also known as pork knuckle) is a tasty and economical cut, often used in slow-cooked dishes for a rich, savory taste. Differing from smoked ham hocks, the unsmoked variety allows the natural pork flavour to shine through, making it a versatile ingredient in various recipes.
Unsmoked ham hock is a fantastic choice for those seeking depth of flavour in their cooking. It's particularly well-suited for dishes that require long, slow cooking, allowing the meat to become incredibly tender and the flavours to meld together beautifully. It's also a cost-effective way to add a meaty dimension to soups, stews, and other hearty meals.
Our ham hocks are carefully selected and prepared to ensure the highest quality. We source our pork from trusted suppliers (Provenance: UK/EU), and our skilled butchers handle each cut with care.
Ham hock is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways. Adding unsmoked ham hock to soups and stews, such as pea and ham soup, lentil soup, or bean stews, guarantees a rich, meaty flavour.
Slow-cook the hock on its own or with other ingredients to create tender, pulled pork or a braised pork dish. Alternatively, boil the ham hock to create a delicious broth and tender meat that can be used in various recipes. You can also add diced ham hock to casseroles for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Refrigerate your unsmoked ham hock promptly upon arrival. For optimal freshness, use it within 6 days. If you're not planning to cook it within that timeframe, you can freeze it for up to 2-3 months. Ensure it's properly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.

All raw meat products must be cooked thoroughly until they are piping hot.
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
