Woolworths is rolling out its award-winning range of Christmas hams, with options for every price point, and continuing supplier partnerships dating back as long as 60 years.

This year, the Christmas ham range includes:

  • Woolworths Gold Glaze & Bake Ham with Davidson & Honey Glaze (840g).
  • A classic Christmas centrepiece, with a sweet glaze made with native Australian Davidson Plum puree and Australian Honey.
  • Woolworths Half Leg Ham, made from Australian Pork that has been naturally wood smoked.
  • Woolworths Gold Free Range Triple Smoked Quarter Leg Ham, bone-in and naturally smoked with karri wood chips, which won the Gold medal in the 2021 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.
  • Woolworths Gold Glaze & Bake Ham with Honey, Fig & Rosemary Glaze (840g), which won the Silver medal in the 2022 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.

Woolworths commercial director, chilled and bakery, Jason McQuaid said Woolworths was aiming to provide something for everyone this Christmas.

“All of our Christmas hams are Australian made, supported by suppliers such as D’Orsogna, who have been selling to Woolworths for more than 60 years.

“We are focused on ensuring we have the best Australian fresh products available for the Christmas table, and that customers can get great value each time they shop with us, which is why products like our Half Leg Ham will be the same price or less than last year,” said McQuaid.

The range of Christmas hams will be rolling out in select stores throughout November.
