Smoked meats are cured meats that undergo a slow smoking process, acquiring their own distinctive flavour, aroma and colour.
It depends on the type of product. Cured ham can be eaten straight away and is usually served in slices as a starter, in sandwiches or on charcuterie platters. Bacon, on the other hand, should be cooked, usually grilled, fried or baked, to bring out its flavour, texture and crispiness.
Bacon can be frozen before cooking. Cured ham is not recommended for freezing, as it loses texture and flavour.
