Frequently Asked Questions
To ensure your gammon hock becomes tender and flavourful, rinse or soak it for an hour to reduce salt, then cover the hock with cold water or stock in a large pot, add flavourings like onion, bay leaves and peppercorns, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook it slowly for 2–3 hours until it reaches a core temperature of 75 °C, then rest before carving. For a crisp outer finish, score the skin, glaze (for example with honey and mustard), and roast in a 200 °C oven for 20-30 minutes. This method ensures melt-in-the-mouth texture and deep flavour.
Yes — you can freeze your gammon hock on the day of purchase. Keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to freeze, then once frozen it is best consumed within 6 months. When you’re ready to cook it, defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator and cook it promptly. Once opened after defrosting, consume within 24 hours and do not refreeze.
Absolutely — this unsmoked cured gammon hock from The Black Farmer is naturally gluten-free and made from British-reared pork. With its clean, un-smoked flavour it’s ideal for a family roast or slow-cooked comfort dish. It serves approximately 4–5 people from a 1 kg portion and pairs beautifully with lentils, leeks, thyme, or can be shredded into hearty casseroles or risottos.
