Trader Joe’s ORGANIC UNCURED BLACK FOREST HAM

“Smoky, savory and lightly sweet with hints of maple”

I’ve already reviewed a very good sliced ham Trader Joe’s sells, which is their ROSEMARY HAM

This one is also quite good. It’s their uncured organic Black Forest ham, which has a lovely smokey flavor.

Uncured means it uses no added nitrates/nitrites. It’s cured with natural seasonings such as organic celery seed, organic vinegar and organic honey. “All vegetarian feed, no added hormones, antibiotics”

Low in fat, 2 slices have 60 calories with 11 gr of Protein.

Wood smoked with hickory, which gives this a wonderful flavor, it’s great for sandwiches and may other things. It made a great omelet, where the smokey flavor came through beautifully.

It would work great on a #cheeseboard. I would love it with some smoked Gouda on a cracker for double smokiness.

I would buy this again.

$5.49 (6 oz)

“TJ’s Uncured Black Forest Ham is deliciously lean, packed with protein, and notably free of added nitrates and nitrites—in other words, the ideal choice for creating simple, delicious school lunches, work lunches, or even just an anytime snack. It has an artful smokiness and tender texture, adds a remarkable depth of flavor, especially when stacked up with slices of Pepper Jack cheese or add-ons like sweet & spicy pickle chips.”
