Poctivá Šunka od Kosti by Kostelecké uzeniny is one of the most recognizable ham products in the portfolio of this long-established Czech meat producer and a key part of its premium Poctivá range, introduced in 2015 with an emphasis on transparent labeling and high meat content. This heat-treated ham belongs to the highest-quality ham category and is made with 92% pork leg, reflecting a product concept focused on a cleaner composition and a pronounced meat profile.
The phrase “od kosti” references the traditional Central European style of ham preparation, historically associated with fuller flavor and a more authentic character. Its texture is firm yet tender, with a juicy consistency and a balanced savory profile centered on the natural taste of pork rather than heavy seasoning.
Unlike standard industrial cooked hams, this product is positioned as a more premium everyday option that draws on traditional butchery heritage while remaining accessible in a modern retail format. It is suitable for cold cuts, sandwiches, and simple meals where the quality of the ham remains the focal point.
As part of a brand with more than a century of meat-processing history, Poctivá Šunka od Kosti reflects Kostelecké uzeniny’s approach to combining Czech culinary tradition with contemporary production standards.
