Jambons (from French 'ham'; , ) are square pastries filled with cheese and chunks of ham. They are a deli item popular in Ireland. The product emerged during the 1990s as part of a broader movement towards "food to go". The multinational bakery company Délifrance says that it adapted and launched the jambon as a new product in the Irish market in 1997.
Twenty million jambons were purchased by Irish consumers in 2020. Following the trend of meat-free sausage rolls, vegan jambons have also been available since 2020. These pastries are produced in a similar manner, using meat substitutes and cheese analogues for the filling.
