List of hams

Ham is pork that has been preserved through salting, smoking, or wet curing.

[1] It was traditionally made only from the hind leg of swine, and referred to that specific cut of pork.

Technically a processed meat, "ham" may refer to a product which has been through mechanical reforming.

The precise nature of meat termed "ham" is controlled by statute in a number of areas, including the United States and European Union.

In addition, numerous ham products have specific geographical indication protection, such as Prosciutto di Parma and Prosciutto Toscano PDO in Europe, and Smithfield ham in the United States.
