How to get Australia’s best ham on your table this Christmas

How to get Australia’s best ham on your table this Christmas

It’s the must-have centrepiece of the season:a glorious glistening ham. With so many options available, how do you choose the best of the best for your celebrations?

We have gone straight to the source of all things Aussie Pork, and can now reveal the winners of the annual Australian PorkMark Ham Awards.

From 155 Australian hams from across the country the best of the best was awarded to Pattemore’s Meats, Alexandra Hills, QLD for their bone-in ham. Judges described the ham as being very neat, with a good shape, perfect internal appearance, excellent flavour and balance.

The best Boneless Ham was awarded to German Butchery in Bexley NSW. The judges described their ham as having great shape and trim, perfect colouring, very good moisture and excellently balanced sweetness.

To see all this year’s Australian PorkMark Ham Award winners from around the country, visit www.pork.com.au.

Did you know?

All bone-in hams are guaranteed to be made from 100% Australian pork, so you’ll also be supporting our farmers.

If you’re buying boneless, be shop savvy as more than 75% of ham sold in Australia is made from imported pork, so if you’re buying a boneless ham or pre-sliced ham, look for the pink Australian Pork PorkMark logo.
