For this year’s Christmas presale, we have just twelve of our much-loved Oakwood-smoked hams, made especially for Daylesford Meat Co. by award-winning German-born charcutier and smallgoods maker, Ralf Fink.
Starting with our free-range Otway Pork, Ralf carefully prepares and brines each ham in his own blend of salt, sugar and aromatic spices before hot-smoking it over local river red gum for heat and German beechwood for its distinctive rich smokiness and gentle tang.
The hams are then sealed and slowly cooked in their own juices for more than 12 hours, resulting in beautifully sweet, juicy and tender pork beneath that characteristic deep brown skin.
It’s a painstaking process, made in small numbers and one that has made these hams something of a Christmas tradition at Daylesford Meat Co. This year, only twelve will be made available, exclusively through our Christmas presale. Once they’re spoken for, there will be no more Oakwood-smoked hams for Christmas 2026.
Our Oakwood Christmas Hams are full-leg, bone-in hams, typically weighing between 10-11kg. As they come from free-range pigs, individual weights naturally vary. When ordering, simply nominate your preferred approximate size and we’ll match your ham as closely as possible.
Hams are priced at $37.99 per kilogram, with a $200 deposit payable when you order. Once your ham has been prepared and its final weight confirmed, we’ll contact you with the balance owing in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Indicative pricing
10 kg ham — $379.90
10.5 kg ham — $398.90
11 kg ham — $417.89
When you place your order, you’ll be asked to nominate collection from our Daylesford store or home delivery, along with your preferred date.
We’ll be in touch by email in November, once our Christmas courier schedule has been confirmed, to advise your final delivery or collection date.
Please place Christmas pre-orders separately from your regular Daylesford Meat Co. shopping. Any other products purchased as part of a Christmas pre-order will be supplied with your Christmas order.
The Christmas presale closes midnight Wednesday 30 September, but it is very likely that these hams will sell out prior.
