Great Taste Awards - 3 stars
2024
Tempus King Peter Ham is a premium speck-style ham crafted in memory of co-founder Tom's late father, Peter, who cherished air-dried hams of all varieties. This unique ham showcases the natural sweetness of high-quality pork, enhanced with a blend of black pepper, juniper, and gentle chestnut wood smoke, resulting in a sweet, nutty flavor with a subtle smokiness.
The ham is aged off the bone with the skin on after curing with juniper, black pepper, and dried bay leaves, then smoked over chestnut wood. It is aged for a year, offering a complex yet balanced flavor profile.
About Tempus Foods
Tempus Foods is a British charcuterie producer founded in 2017 by MasterChef finalists Dhruv Baker and Tom Whitaker. The company specializes in crafting exceptional British cured meats using traditional techniques. Their product range includes various salamis and whole muscle cuts, such as the acclaimed Tempus Spiced Coppa, which received a 3-star rating at the 2022 Great Taste Awards.
In April 2024, Tempus Foods merged with Rare & Pasture, another British charcuterie and smoked meat firm. This strategic move aimed to expand production capabilities and enhance sales channels for both brands. Post-merger, the companies continue to operate under their respective names, with sales and distribution led from Tempus's Weybridge location and shared production between the two sites.
