Virginia Ham
What You Should Know
You'd find this Virginia-style ham in the refrigerated deli or packaged-meat aisle and reach for it when building sandwiches, brunch boards, or holiday platters. It carries a nostalgic, celebratory vibe—convenient and a little indulgent—ideal for quick entertaining or cozy family meals. The ingredient list (added water, sugars, and a vague "natural flavor") plus very high sodium points to industrial curing and flavoring that create a uniform texture and extended shelf life, consistent with ultra-processed products.
