Ham Shapes


Pit Style, Teardrop or Pear Shape
Generally whole muscle and boneless. Feature old-fashioned appearance with a higher yield than bone-in hams. Ideal for carving traditional ham steaks. These hams do not perform well for thin slicing. Hams should be heated before serving.

Round
Whole muscle, sectioned and formed or chunked and formed. Large hams are very versatile; smaller products are good for breakfast and deli serving.

Natural Flat or D-Shaped
Whole muscle sectioned and formed. These hams appear less processed and offer great plate coverage and eye appeal.

Flat Ham or Buffet Ham
Whole muscle, sectioned and formed. These hams provide good plate coverage and flexible portion control, making them ideal for entree applications.

Rectangular or Squared Ham
Normally sectioned and formed or chunked and formed. These fully cooked hams offer 100% yield and consistency for slicing and deli shaving.
