Dry cured gammon hocks are a great example of traditional British charcuterie, offering a rich, robust taste that is deeply satisfying.
These hocks are taken from the lower part of the pig’s leg, near the foot, which is known for its dense, flavour-packed meat and natural marbling of fat.

Gammon hocks are ideal for slow cooking, which allows the connective tissue and fat to break down, resulting in tender, melt-in-the-mouth meat. A popular way to enjoy them is by simmering in a pot with vegetables, herbs, and perhaps a touch of cider or ale for added depth. The hocks can then be shredded and used in soups, stews, or even as a hearty filling for pies.
These hocks are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. They are a good source of protein and contain essential minerals like iron and zinc. The slow cooking process helps to extract the collagen from the bones, which can be beneficial for joint health and adds a rich, gelatinous quality to the broth.
At Grid Iron Meat, our dry cured gammon hocks are made from pork reared on North Yorkshire farms. This ensures that you’re getting the best quality meat, with a distinctive taste that reflects the traditional farming practices of the region. Whether you’re preparing a comforting winter stew or looking to add depth to your broths and soups, these gammon hocks are a versatile choice that brings a touch of the countryside to your kitchen.
To get the best out of your dry cured gammon hocks, soak them in water overnight before cooking to remove some of the excess salt. Then, simmer them gently for several hours with your choice of vegetables and herbs. Once cooked, you can shred the meat or serve it as a hearty cut alongside mashed potatoes and greens.
Dry cured gammon hocks are a true comfort food, offering a rich, traditional taste that’s perfect for slow, cosy meals.

We have only had the bacon so far and loved it, but me I like a little more fat, we have had bacon sandwiches twice and the fat that does run out is lovely to soak the bread in and then eat the sandwich.The hock looks lovely and we are having it this Saturday.
