Baked ham
Baked ham has a crispy appearance, bite and flavour.
The market for hams is now a huge one.
It is a product eaten almost everywhere in the world and produced in countless varieties.Generally, ham has a pure meat flavour of its own and uses fairly neutral additives. After salting and seasoning, products in this group are normally cooked at a temperature of around 80⁰C.
The characteristic colour and flavour of baked ham are caused by the maillard reaction during the production process. During frying at high temperatures, the meat turns brown in colour as a chemical reaction takes place between reducing sugars and amino acids.
At Compaxo, we mainly use hind ham as the basis for our baked ham.
After selection, we add a stock that is massaged into the meat to optimise its saturation. Finally, the meat is heavily smoked for a deep smoky flavour.
At Compaxo, the rind of the baked ham is heavily co-fried, giving it a crispy appearance, bite and flavour.
It is possible to buy our baked ham in slices, cubes, strips and in bulk.
Moreover, at Compaxo it is possible to buy baked ham with or without rind.
In Germany, fried ham is also a popular product type.
There, the product is known as ‘Knusperschinken’. This is a baked ham without rind..
