Dry-cured ham from the Appalachian foothills: salt-cured, hickory-smoked, aged six months or more. Served thin on biscuits at breakfast, or as a cured meat platter.
Country ham is a Carolina mountain tradition: pigs raised in the Appalachian foothills, cured with salt rubs, smoked over hickory, aged through the cool months. The technique came with Scotch-Irish settlers in the 1700s. Greenville sits at the edge of country ham country; Soby's keeps a country ham starter on the menu year-round.
