It was 1957 when Harry Hoesnselaar opened the first HoneyBaked Ham Company store in Detroit, Michigan. He'd select only the finest-quality bone-in hams, cure them in a secret marinade, and smoke them for hours over a blend of hardwood chips. From there, Harry coated each ham in his signature crispy-sweet glaze. He even invented a machine that can slice a ham in one long, continuous spiral.

Three generations and over 400 stores later, the Hoenselaar family still prepares HoneyBaked Ham the same way Harry did-with care, craft, and commitment to quality that make this ham worthy of the title "World's Best".
