Aged Picnic Ham – Great Taste Cured Pork Collar
Award-Winning Cured Pork Collar with Cypriot Red Wine & Oak Smoke
Aged Picnic Ham from The Greek Farmer brings cured pork collar to your table in a simple, ready-to-eat form. It has a rich smoky taste, a gentle wine depth, and a warm Cypriot spice character. Therefore, it suits grazing boards, quick lunches, tapas nights, and relaxed weekend picnics.
Great Taste Award-Winning Flavour
This Great Taste 1-star award winner starts with premium British outdoor bred pork. Then, The Greek Farmer seasons the collar with care and bathes it in dry red wine from Cyprus. As a result, every slice tastes bold, savoury, and deeply Mediterranean.
The flavour also comes from shinos seed, which comes from the Turpentine tree of Cyprus. This traditional ingredient gives the ham a distinctive aroma. Moreover, it links the product to the island’s old curing culture, where families used wine, spice, salt, and smoke to preserve pork through the seasons.
A Taste of Cypriot Tradition
Traditionally, Cypriot cured meats sat at the centre of village hospitality. People served them with bread, fruit, cheese, olives, and wine. In the same spirit, this cured pork collar works beautifully when you want something special without cooking a full meal.
Each 50g pack comes sliced for easy serving. So, you can open it, arrange it, and enjoy it within minutes. You can also crisp the slices gently in a pan for extra texture. However, it already tastes delicious straight from the pack.
Smoky, Wine-Bathed and Ready to Serve
The oak smoke gives the ham a rounded finish. Meanwhile, the red wine adds depth rather than sweetness. The seasoning feels warm and aromatic, yet it does not overpower the natural pork flavour. Consequently, this ham feels refined, rustic, and very easy to use.
Enjoy it with:
- Crusty bread, olive oil, and olives
- Hard Greek cheeses or mild creamy cheese
- Fresh figs, grapes, apple, or melon
- Pickles, chutney, or roasted peppers
- Salads with kale, apple, walnut, or mustard dressing
- Panini, sourdough toasties, or open sandwiches
Simple Serving Ideas
For a quick recipe, make a crispy ham, kale, and apple salad. First, crisp a few slices lightly in a dry pan. Then, toss kale with apple, olive oil, lemon, and a little mustard. Finally, add the ham on top for a smoky savoury finish.
This Aged Picnic Ham also works well with fruit platters, tapas plates, wine tastings, and charcuterie nights. Because it arrives ready sliced, it saves time while still feeling premium.
Nutritional Benefits
This Aged Picnic Ham also offers useful nutritional value. Pork provides complete protein, which supports muscles and keeps meals satisfying. In addition, it contains B vitamins, zinc, iron, and selenium. These nutrients support energy, immunity, and normal body function. Because cured meats contain salt, enjoy it in balanced portions with fresh vegetables, fruit, and wholegrain bread.
Practical Pantry Luxury
The ambient storage makes it practical for busy homes, gift hampers, and travel-friendly food planning. Furthermore, the six-month-plus shelf life helps you keep a premium appetiser ready in the cupboard. That makes it ideal for last-minute guests, wine tastings, and easy sharing boards.
For entertaining, this Greek Farmer ham feels generous, neat, and premium. Also, the thin slices help you control portions and reduce waste. Serve only what you need, then keep the rest sealed according to pack guidance.
Choose this cured pork collar when you want a product with award-winning taste and real craft behind it. It brings together British pork, Cypriot wine, oak smoke, and Mediterranean tradition in one small pack.
