For the longest time, lamb lovers have had to enjoy their favourite meat as a classic roast or a loin chop, or on special occasions, a cutlet or shank.
But when Andrew and Maree King faced worsening drought on their Western Queensland sheep farm, it forced them to think differently. It was during this time that the couple, a fourth generation farmer and a former school teacher, revolutionised the traditional staple of family dinners to create LamHam.
Silverwood LamHam is just that – Ham made from lamb – a unique smoked product that boasts a velvety texture and aroma and a buttery flavour highlighted with a hint of fresh rosemary.
Cured and naturally wood smoked with beechwood chips and fresh rosemary, the meat- which comes in Black Label boneless and full bone leg, is also gluten free and halal-certified.
“There are other variations of ham on the market, like turkey or chicken, but not lamb so we have taken a unique approach to keep our family afloat by revolutionising the way we enjoy our lamb,” says Maree.
Winning a silver and bronze award in the 2016 Australian Food Awards for their boneless and bone Lamham, the Kings say they are committed to providing the highest standard of product to customers.
“Our LamHam is made with love using all Australian grown lamb. We are extremely passionate and always maintain our team spirit."
But the deliciousness doesn’t stop there with Silverwood Fine Foods also offering their Black Label Lamb Bacon.
Silverwood have been delivering lamb to families and businesses throughout Queensland for a number of years, with the LamHam available for online purchase and delivery in some areas of the Sunshine state, but with a growing number of stockists in Victoria as well, with all the details at their website lambham.com.
Our fave tip from Silverwood? If you grab a full bone leg, the leftover bones make a rich and unique LamHam and pea soup – it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
