Smithfield Ham

Smithfield Ham-

If you've ever been to Isle of Wight county & the town of Smithfield, you would know that this is swine you don't wanna miss out on.

A 1926 Statute of Virginia regulates the usage of the term "Smithfield Ham" by stating:

Genuine Smithfield hams [are those] cut from the carcasses of peanut-fed hogs, raised in the peanut-belt of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of North Carolina, and which are cured, treated, smoked, and processed in the town of Smithfield, in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
