Johnston County Hams is now offering our Curemaster Reserve Mangalitsa hams from Heath Putnam Farms. These limited number hams are the first Mangalitsa hams to be cured in North America.

The Mangalitsa pig produces more monounsaturated fat than modern breeds which produces a pleasant aroma and a buttery flavor. The breed was imported by Heath Putnam to the United States from Austria. Our curemaster Rufus Brown says he has never tasted a finer cured ham or bacon than the ones from the Mangalitsa pigs.

We are proud to offer a traditional Mangalitsa whole ham with the leg and foot on . This ham can be placed in a European ham rack for slicing or hung until carving.
