A true German deli favorite, Schinkenwurst is a mildly seasoned pork and beef sausage studded with pieces of flavorful ham (Schinken). Its delicate smokiness and tender bite make it perfect for sandwiches, cold cuts platters, or sliced thick and pan-seared for breakfast. Smooth yet hearty, it’s a classic that showcases the craftsmanship of traditional German butchery.
The name Schinkenwurst literally means “ham sausage,” and recipes for it date back to early 20th-century butcher shops across Germany, where premium cuts of ham were incorporated for extra richness and texture.
