A Christmas Ham With a Canterbury Story
Do you know where your Christmas ham comes from?
Around 60% of the pork eaten in New Zealand is imported.
When it comes to cured pork products, such as ham and bacon, the imported share is even higher. NZ Pork estimates that nearly 85% comes from overseas.
At Kai Co, we aim to keep imported pork below 15% of the pork we sell. Supporting New Zealand farmers has always been important to us, but we also know locally raised ham often comes with a much higher price.
We wanted to find a better balance.
A Local Ham at a Fair Price
Our goal was to create a Christmas ham with the flavour and finish you would expect from your local butcher, without the usual premium price.
A ham you would be proud to put on the Christmas table.
A ham that supports Canterbury farmers, Canterbury producers, and a local family-owned supermarket.
The result is our beautiful Mānuka-Smoked Canterbury Ham.
Raised in Canterbury. Produced in Canterbury. Enjoyed in Canterbury.
No Guesswork
Traditionally cured and naturally smoked with Mānuka wood chips, each Kai Co Ham delivers rich flavour, quality and craftsmanship you can serve with confidence.
You know where the pork was raised, where your ham was produced, and who you are supporting when you put it on the table this Christmas.
