Hormel® Cure 81® ham
Created By 1,000 Homemakers to be “Nearly Perfect”
In 1963, in an unprecedented approach to product development, Geo. A. Hormel & Company asked more than 1,000 homemakers to help create “the world’s most nearly perfect ham,” now known as Cure 81® ham. Women from around the country shared their attitudes about product taste, name, package design and advertising in an ambitious effort to develop a premium boneless ham for buffets, holidays and family meals. The immediate success of Cure 81® ham proved the effectiveness of such research, and it has been employed in Hormel Foods product development ever since.
