## Features

- DESCRIPTION: Rays 10 lb Ready-to-Bake Country Ham is expertly hand-butchered from our 16 lb Whole Bone-in Country Ham. We carefully remove the skin and excess fat, then score the ham to perfectly absorb your favorite glaze. Inspired by turkey roasting, we include a baking bag to lock in moisture and tenderness. The result is a mouthwatering, tender ham that requires only a third of the usual hands-on prep time for a baked Country Ham.
- A TASTE FROM ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME: Rays Country Ham is more than just ham—it’s heritage. Crafted with century-old curing methods, our salt-cured, air-dried ham reflects traditions from North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Every slice delivers the deep, savory richness of authentic country ham. For over 75 years, Rays has been a Southern favorite, offering an unmistakable flavor that stands the test of time. Taste true Blue Ridge craftsmanship in every bite.
- RICH, BOLD FLAVOR – TRADITIONALLY CURED While many products labeled “country ham” may be unexpectedly mild, Ray’s preserves the deep, savory flavor that made Ray Goad’s legendary Country Ham Biscuits famous. Hand-rubbed with a classic blend of salt, pepper, and brown sugar, this Blue Ridge Mountain dry-cured and aged ham delivers the salty, robust taste that Country Ham lovers expect. If you’re seeking a genuinely authentic Country Ham experience, this is the flavor you’ve been craving.
- WHO WILL LOVE THIS HAM: Devoted Country Ham lovers who miss that true, salt, and dry-cured taste will feel at home with Rays Country Ham. This ham is for you if you grew up in the Southeast, where Country Ham & Biscuits are a staple at the breakfast table, family picnics, and funerals. It’s also a heartfelt gift of remembered flavors of traditional ham curing. Sharing good food is more than nourishment; it’s how we connect, reflect, and celebrate the ties that bring us together.
- FIRST-TIME BUYERS: WHAT TO EXPECT: If you’ve never tried authentic Country Ham, prepare for a bold, salty taste combined with a deep, savory flavor that differs from typical sweet "city" hams. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the slices in a dish of cold water for 10 minutes to reduce the saltiness. However, this ham is for those who appreciate a traditional Southern salt and dry-cured ham, with the robust, savory character that has made Country Ham a beloved favorite for generations.
- COOKING & STORAGE (OWNER’S MANUAL INCLUDED): You’ll receive an Owner’s Manual with cooking instructions—helpful soaking tips, quick skillet-frying methods, and optional red-eye gravy recipes. Once opened, wrap and refrigerate or freeze for future meals. This flexible format ensures you can enjoy hearty portions of real Blue Ridge Mountain–cured ham when the craving strikes.
- A TIMELESS SOUTHERN TRADITION DELIVERED Ray Goad was the first to serve Country Ham Biscuits for breakfast in a Fast-Food restaurant, continuing a 75-year family tradition of dry-cured, aged country ham from North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Now, you can enjoy this bold, old-fashioned flavor at home—a cherished tradition, perfected and conveniently available for those who crave and truly appreciate authentic Country Ham. .

    Make sure you soak it...even people who like salty ham need to soak it over night
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024*

I loved that my ham was ready to cook.and .trimmed so well....your suggestion of a large baking bag was great...I had always boiled my ham in a large cooker....this was so much easier and clean up so much faster...I just wish postage was included....but all in all my family loved the Easter ham.....you have a new customer...will get in touch at Christmas!

    Horrible ham
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2022*

I had 22 people for dinner for Easter and must tell you that the ham that I ordered through Amazon that came from Rays Country Ham in North Carolina was so bad that the whole ham had to be tossed into the trash.  I followed the instructions that came with the ham to the letter and yet it was so salty that no one could eat so much as one slice.  I sliced off three piecess that I will be happy to send to you to see if anyone at your end can eat this ham.  The rest of the ham on the bone went to the trash.  I know it's not your fault but you should beaware of the items that you list onyour website are worth your endorsement.  I will also write to Rays to let them know and I will also write on yelp to let folks know my experience.  I do not feel that I should be charged for this ham (98.) but will pay if I must but want you to know my experience with this item.  I will never order a food item that needs no refrigeration while in shipment as this ham was.  I now know why.  It must have been so loaded with salt that it could have gone round the world and woujld not have gone bad.  It was bad to start with.  Please responed so I can make arrangements to send you bak these pieces of ham that I want you to taste.  Thank you  Joanne Parenti

    70:year history of Country Ham cooking
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020*

This is the only country ham I have ever cooked in a cooking bag and it was just such a pleasure. I presoaked in pineapple and brown sugar to cut the salt and cooked as directed. I took out of cooking bag and used a brown sugar and mustard glaze. It turned out delicious and it was beautiful to look at. So many compliments..I cook country hams all the time over past 70 years as my parents and grandparents did. Great on biscuits and with gravy. Season beans and pea soup. No end to the amazing uses for this wonderful ham. Buy it. You won’t regret it
