75-YEAR-OLD FAMILY TRADITION  Ray and Geneva Goad opened their first Ray's Restaurant, at the end of WWII. Ray became the innovator of the fast food breakfast and the very first to serve country ham and sausage biscuits. Ray's Breakfast Biscuits have become the foundation of much of America's breakfast menu today. Ray's name and legacy are now being preserved by his family, with Ray's natural air-cured Blue Ridge Mountain Country Ham, in the authentic style preserved by the traditional methods originated on the family farms of Appalachia. Thin Sliced for tenderness and shelf-safe vacuum packed for your convenience.  

TIME PROVEN NATURAL FOOD PRESERVATION  Curing Country Ham harks back to the way food was preserved on the family farms of Appalachia before electricity and refrigeration. Born of necessity and handed from one generation to another, it has been elevated to a culinary art form. The family tradition of butchering hogs in the late fall allowed for them to cure ham before the cold winter months by rubbing them with salt, and sugar, and other spices to begin a curing process.  

  A TASTE FROM ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME  Today those traditions are being kept alive in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Only a few families have continued to perfect dry curing with modern food science techniques that enhance the natural curing process by duplicating the annual seasons of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall that creates the distinctive taste that can only be described as Ray's Country Ham.    

NOTES ON TASTE  Country hams are drastically different from their more common cousin, the wet-cured ham. One of the most distinctive flavors of Country Ham is its salty taste, which is to be expected. Ray's blends this with the unique flavors found only in Blue Ridge Mountain Country Ham.
