Smoked Ham (Leg)

Smoked ham is a traditional meat product made from a pork leg that undergoes a process of salting and subsequent cold or hot smoking. The result is a dark brown meat with a distinctive smoky aroma and juicy, bold flavor. In Czech cuisine it is a beloved staple, typically served boiled with cabbage and dumplings, or added to soups, stews, and potato dishes. The smoking process not only imparts the characteristic taste but also extends the shelf life of the meat. It is available both as a whole piece and pre-sliced. Suitable for slow cooking, roasting, and as a base for broths. Its flavor pairs beautifully with acidic side dishes such as sauerkraut or pickles.
