Tasty Takes — Wiltshire Cured Ham from North Park Meat Company

Our “Tasty Takes” series will be taking a look at some of the most savory, salacious foods and dishes you will find in various markets and restaurants around San Diego. For the first installment, contributor Christy Samoy takes us to the North Park Meat Company.

Wiltshire is an English style cure, which derives a bittersweet flavor from the addition of molasses and beer to the brine. It is cured for a month in the brine, heavily smoked, then hung to dry for a few months. When it’s ready, it’s baked through to temperature, then it’s ready to be sold.

Because the process takes several months, this ham is not always available. But there are always other wonderful products available at the North Park Meat Company.
