Brady Family... 'Real' Irish Ham.

Established in 1978 and based in Co. Kildare, Brady Family are specialists in the production of premium quality, hand-crafted traditional Irish hams which look and taste the way hams used to. Brady Family Ham’s extensive range includes Traditional Home Cooked Ham, Glazed Ham, Crumbed Ham, and Oak Smoked Ham, all on or off the bone. And, for the time pressured consumer, Brady Family ham is also available pre –packed form.

The remarkable achievement is that Brady Family hams are 100% sourced from Bord Bia approved Irish suppliers and crafted by hand (not machine!) and are available nationwide in SuperValu, Centra, Dunnes, Superquinn, Tesco, all symbol groups and leading independent delis.

Very few companies are staying true to the traditional methods of producing ham as was done in farmhouses up and down the country in the past. Brady Family is proud to retain many of these old skills and cooking methods and this results in a product when compared to its main competitors that it is 100% Irish and unprocessed with no added water.

What are the benefits of Brady Family ham compared to other ham on the market?

•    Brady Family hams are all made using only young Irish pork and all carry the Bord Bia Quality Assurance Mark.

•    All hams are slowly cured on the bone, using a unique traditional curing recipe for several days. This gives all Brady Family hams their unique taste and flavour.

•    Each cured leg is carefully deboned by our own craft butchers and then formed by hand into an individual ham for steam cooking in its own rind. Each individual ham comes from its own individual pork leg.

•    The ham is steam cooked for 8-10 hours with the rind on, which ensures succulence, flavour and texture. No added water is retained in the final product.

•    A combination of all of the stages in the curing, preparation and cooking process of Brady Family hams, gives them their unique flavour, taste and texture.
