Mild flavour and aroma. Mostly tender and moist but outer parts can be slightly dry.
Dark appearance, variable texture, salty aftertaste
Mild and pleasant ham flavour with subtle smokiness and salty aftertaste.
Flavour quite salty. Smokiness is evident but salt is overriding. Flavour is not well balanced.
Unusual flavour and aroma that is not appealing and lingers in aftertaste. Lacks flavour and doesn't taste like a traditional ham.
Very mild aroma. Pleasant flavour with subtle smokiness. Salty aftertaste.

A good everyday ham for Christmas. Pleasant saltiness that lingers, well balanced flavour.
Subtle smoky aroma. Mild flavour but salty aftertaste.
