COOKING Hams are put into saturated steam ovens, where they are cooked slowly. After cooking, hams are cooled down in specific refrigerated rooms, where their core temperature reaches +2 C. PACKING Hams are put into aluminium bags and sent to a packing machine, which vacuum-packs the bags before sealing them. This is followed by pasteurization and subsequent cooling. Hams are put into refrigerated store rooms. ASPECT Whole ham with weights from 8.5 kg to 9.5kg, packed in a gold bag.
