DukesHill was first bestowed a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for its production of traditional artisan hams.
Mark Gallagher, DukesHill's CEO, said, “We are incredibly proud and truly honoured to receive the Royal Warrant from His Majesty The King.
"As an artisan ham producer focused on working with the very of best British farmers, this prestigious accolade further solidifies our faith in the importance of championing true artisan craftsmanship. As we approach our 40th anniversary, it's really wonderful for our team to be acknowledged for our unwavering dedication to quality, provenance and welfare.”
Founded in Shropshire in 1985, DukesHill began as a labour of love, crafting the finest Wiltshire, York and Shropshire Black Hams using time-honoured traditional techniques with the highest regard for animal welfare.
Champions of the artisan, DukesHill works closely with local farmers and skilled artisans to create the very best of handmade British fine foods, focusing on welfare, provenance, taste and texture above all else. Their guiding principle of putting flavour and quality before speed or yield remains as strong as ever.
Recently awarded the Organic Food Federation Certificate for a range of its hams, DukesHill is one of only a few producers of certified organic wet cured ham in the UK.
What sets the DukesHill curing process apart is the combination of using traditional curing techniques and its very own special recipe brine, including unrefined brown sugar that imparts a subtle, sweet undertone that complements the ham's natural flavour.
After steam cooking for 12 hours, each ham is hand-skinned, trimmed and inspected by an expert quality manager, ensuring every product meets the highest standards of excellence.
The renewal of the Royal Warrant reflects DukesHill's dedication to the values championed by HM King Charles III, such as preserving British heritage.
