Carmarthen Ham is an air-dried salt cured whole bone in ham produced in a Farmhouse just outside Carmarthen
Legend of Carmarthen Ham
The recipe of Carmarthen Ham has been handed down from generation to generation, the family legend being that when the Romans came to Wales and settled in Carmarthen, they stole the recipe and returned to Italy, renaming it Parma Ham!
Or so Carmarthen Ham curer Chris Rees said to Rick Stein’s visit to film his Food Heroes series back in 2002. While Chris improvised this at the time, it has since been hotly debated and even attracted Italian historians who conducted research and written papers on the subject. Their findings have been inconclusive, leaving open the possibility this story may have some truth in it!
PGI Status
Carmarthen Ham was granted a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Status by the European Commission in 2016.[1] Since Brexit, in the UK this is now officially referred to as having Geographical Origin (GO) status, however in Europe the term PGI still applies, and continues to be the preferred term in the UK as well. Only ham that has been produced in a specified area around the market town of Carmarthen can be sold as Carmarthen Ham. There are only 20 Welsh products (72 in the UK) that have been granted protected status, including Halen Mon (Anglesey Sea Salt) and Caerphilly Cheese
