Overview

"Top-quality cooked meats are so versatile to have in the kitchen fridge. They can be used in loads of different ways – you can stuff them in delicious sandwiches, serve them to your guests on gorgeous antipasti boards or use them to add extra flavour and punch to an evening meal. My range of cooked meats celebrates top-quality British pork and beef that have been cured, matured and cooked in the traditional way."

Jamie Oliver

Cooked Meats

Jamie's cooked ham products are made using outdoor-bred British pork, in line with RSPCA Freedom Food welfare standards, and the beef products are made using British beef. Jamie's cooked hams are flavoured with unique blends of herbs and spices before being dry-cured, matured for a minimum of seven days and then slow-cooked for great taste and a fabulous meaty texture. His salt beef is cooked until perfectly pink, ensuring a delicious, tender bite.

Development

The range has been developed in partnership with Cranswick who shares Jamie’s passion for producing top quality food products.

Animal welfare is really important to Jamie so all the British pork is from pigs which are outdoor bred on farms in the UK. These farms have been inspected and approved by Freedom Food - the RSPCA’s own farm assurance and food labelling scheme. The pigs are born outdoors in sheltered huts, staying with their mums before being moved into deep straw bedded barns where they continue to stay with the same pigs. Here they are kept in social groups where they have room to move, lie comfortably and express their natural foraging and rooting behaviours. Sows are kept outdoors at all times, with access to shelters with plenty of straw bedding material to allow them to lie comfortably and to nest build.

Freedom Food is the only farm assurance and food labelling scheme dedicated to improving the lives of farm animals. The RSPCA standards cover all aspects of the pig’s life including living conditions, diet, handling, transport and slaughter.

The beef products are made using top quality British beef.
