Kurobuta Boneless Ham

Internet Only

Summary

Kurobuta, or “black hog,” is the Japanese term for the Berkshire breed, the source of the famous Japanese kurobuta pork from the Kagoshima Prefecture. Like its Japanese counterpart, Snake River kurobuta is deep in color and streaked with fine marbling that makes this ham exceptionally sweet, juicy and tender. Its rich flavor is complemented perfectly by expert curing according to an old family recipe and light smoking over hardwood chips.

Whole ham: Approx. 6 lb. (serves 8 - 12).
Half ham: Approx. 4 lb. (serves 8 – 10).
Fully cooked.
Shipped frozen.
Made in the USA.

Use & Care

Receiving Instructions

The ham was shipped frozen with cold packs to arrive frozen. Upon receipt refrigerate the ham, or freeze to enjoy at a later date. It will keep refrigerated up to 3 weeks, or frozen up to 3 months, unopened. For best quality, once thawed, we do not recommend refreezing the ham.

Proper Thawing Technique:

Remove the meat from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. To retain more of the natural juices, leave the meat in its original packaging while thawing. It is normal for natural juices to accumulate.

Cooking Instructions

Preheat an oven to 325°F.
Remove the ham from the packaging and place the ham in a large roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is centered in the thickest part of the ham. Do not add water to the pan or cover the ham.
Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the thermometer registers 140°F. If the surface becomes too dark while cooking, tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil.
Transfer the ham to a carving board and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
