Smoked Ham Hock

Enhance your soups, stews, greens, and beans with our pasture-raised smoked ham hock.The ham hock is the bottom joint of the pork shank, which is the leg of the hog. This piece of pork is made up of bone, skin, a bit of lean meat, and lots of fat and connective tissue. When cured and smoked, the pork flavor becomes concentrated and makes a great smokey flavor boost for any brothy dish. Additionally, the connective tissue melts and makes the broth extra rich.

Smoked ham hock is fully cooked which makes cooking with it extra simple. Just add the hock whole into any soup or pot of greens or beans when you add the liquid. Once the dish has finished cooking you can fish out the hock and shred the meat to add back in, or just leave it whole as a flavor enhancer. 

All McElroy Farms meat is vacuum sealed and frozen immediately after being USDA processed. This ensures freshness and optimal flavor, and allows you to easily stock up.
