Black Forest Bauernschinken
ADLER Black Forest Bauernschinken – The Original Farmer’s Ham from Germany’s Black Forest
Taste the heritage of Germany’s most celebrated ham. ADLER Black Forest Bauernschinken is crafted in Bonndorf, deep in the Black Forest, where select pork hams are hand-salted, gently spiced, and slow-smoked for three weeks over fresh pine and fir wood. A further air-drying and maturation period of 12 weeks yields paper-thin slices with a rosy hue, delicate marbling, and an unmistakably rich, smoky aroma.
Protected by an EU Geographical Indication (g.g.A.), every slice guarantees authentic regional craftsmanship and the iconic flavor that made Black Forest ham famous worldwide. Smooth and subtly seasoned—think prosciutto’s rustic cousin—this Bauernschinken elevates everything from simple snacks to gourmet plates.
