We blind taste test and compare 10 supermarket Christmas hams, from from Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA to find the best.

We chose ten Christmas hams available in major supermarket chains nationally. We then set up a blind taste test where each product was tasted cold by a panel of three experts, and given a rating based on flavour, texture, appearance and smell.

Not all characteristics in the taste test were treated equally, with flavour being the most important and given a heavier weighting, followed by texture, appearance and smell. The CHOICE Expert Rating, is made up of the taste test score (90%) and the Health Star Rating (10%).

CORRECTION 5 December 2024: 1. A previous version of this article said the CHOICE Expert Rating (overall score) was based on 90% taste and 10% nutrition, when it should have said based on 90% taste and 10% Health Star Rating. We have updated this information but the overall score and ranking of results were correct and have not changed. 2. CHOICE had been supplied with the incorrect price for the Seven Mile Premium Double Smoked Leg Ham. It has been updated from $12/kg to $12.50/kg.

I joined CHOICE in 2008 as a work experience student while studying my Bachelor of Science (Nutrition and Food) at the University of Western Sydney. I've been with CHOICE ever since.  My first job was in a room full of muesli, collecting all their nutritional data. When I completed my course, CHOICE offered me a full-time position as a Test Officer in the Kitchen Lab. In 2009, I moved into the role of household content producer. I write about a wide range of children's and household products, ranging from cots and strollers to ovens, BBQs, espresso machines and electric blankets. I even write about grocery items such as nappies, sanitary pads and laundry detergents. I love my job and the extremely talented and passionate group of people I work with. I love knowing that our research, testing and results go a long way to helping consumers with their buying decisions by highlighting great products – and singling out poorly performing ones. You can find me on LinkedIn.
