Benton's Coupon Code October 2025 - 11% OFF

Benton's is normally matured between 9 and 10 months and slowly cured with salt, brown sugar, and sodium nitrite, however older hams are also available. This age-old tradition stretches back to the time of their ancestors, when preparing and preserving meat was a need for survival. While many areas of their contemporary world have been shaped by time and technology, at Benton's they have maintained the traditional dry-curing technique and strive to create bacon and country hams of the highest caliber. Albert H. Hicks, a dairy farmer who founded their company in 1947, started curing and selling country hams out of a painted block structure. Dry-curing hams and bacon has been refined into a culinary art by Allan Benton and his team, who also propelled the goods from a basic breakfast staple into the world of gourmet cooking where they have been hailed for their distinctive flavor.
