Pražská šunka is a traditional ham made on the bone, boneless, or tinned, in the Czech Republic. The boned variety must not exceed 10 kilograms in weight and has one side covered with golden yellow skin. The meat is pink and tender when sliced and the texture is firm and compact.
The taste is salty and typical of cooked and smoked ham. The boneless variety is oval or cylindrical in shape and has the same organoleptic properties as the boned variety. The tinned variety weighs about half a kilogram, has at least 87% meat content and is pink in its cross-section with small holes dispersed here and there.
