製造工程は商品の種類によってさまざまである。
ハムは、豚肉を整形し、低温で塩せきし、ケーシングに充填した後、乾燥・くん煙し、湯煮（蒸煮）して仕上げる。生ハムは低温で長時間くん煙し、加熱しないで徐々に乾燥して仕上げる。
塩せきとは、原料肉を食塩、発色剤（亜硝酸ナトリウムなど）、砂糖、香辛料などを溶かした液（ピックル）に一定期間漬け込むことで、これにより製品を熟成させ風味を増すとともに、肉の色が変わらないようにし、保存性を高めることができる。
豚ばら肉を使ったベーコンは、わき腹肉についている肋骨などを取り除いて長方形に整形し、ハム類と同様に塩せきした後に乾燥し、長時間くん煙して作る。
ソーセージは、塩せきした原料肉をチョッパーで細切し、カッターで香辛料、調味料などと混ぜ合わせ、スタッファーで天然腸ケーシング（羊腸、豚腸など）、又は人工ケーシングに充填した後、乾燥・くん煙し、湯煮（蒸煮）して仕上げる。
